Plans are still moving forward for the 2020 U.P. State Fair taking place Aug.17-23 in Escanaba, MI.
Both the U.P. State Fair Authority and the Delta County Chamber of Commerce are working alongside local, state, and federal authorities and fair partners to ensure that a safe and healthy plan is in place for the event. The collaboration from these different groups has been critical to develop best-practices that prioritize the health and safety of the public and ensures that the plan follows all local, state, and federal laws.
Once the established health and safety plan is in place, all involved groups will have to agree to requirements and restrictions. If the fair is approved to move forward, those in attendance may see some of these changes reflected in the fair experience, such as more handwashing stations, vendors adhering to personal protective equipment standards, and social distancing requirements.
The U.P. State Fair Authority has made the public’s health and safety its top priority. All decisions made will be with the public’s welfare and protection in mind. In addition, the Authority will act in accordance with Governor Whitmer’s executive orders.
Although the 2020 U.P. State Fair may look slightly different than other years, the Authority remains hopeful it can live up to its decided theme – ‘Clearly the Best Fair Yet.’ With health and safety at top of mind, the Authority plans to keep the public informed on future decisions regarding the event.
