Vendor & Concessions

The Great Geauga County Fair would not be “great” without all of your hard efforts to service the people who attend.

There are over 300 vendors and concessionaires each year at the Great Geauga County Fair. All new applicants will be placed on a waiting list. All the information you will need to participate in Ohio's oldest fair is here for you to review and download forms.

How to Become a Concessionaire or Vendor:

1. Fill out the Online Concession Application below or use the Concessionaire Downloads above and mail/fax it.
2. Current vendors must submit a deposit before March 31st to secure space in our fair. We will not fill any space before then. Often times we are not aware of cancellations until as late as July 31st when the balance of payment is due.
3. You will be placed on the waiting list and you will be notified as there are cancellations (very common—especially in Merchant Building).
4. Include as much information as possible about your concession — a picture is encouraged.
5. We are always looking for new items and specialty cuisine to provide for our fair-goers.
6. Remember the fair is over Labor Day weekend (Thursday – Monday) and every booth must be manned during operating hours. For 2022, we are celebrating our Bicentennial Fair and have added Wednesday to the fair dates.
7. View all Concession Documents above.
