Accessible parking is provided in the North and South lots; a tractor-pulled wagon shuttle serves the South lot. Camping and overnight planning General fairgoers may not camp on the fairgrounds. Volunteers may camp on-site for one night per four-hour volunteer shift; MOFGA publishes nearby camping and accommodation options for other visitors. Accessibility The fair occupies a large rural property with fields, woods and hills; most activity is concentrated in a roughly 40-acre area. Accessible parking is offered in both main lots, and MOFGA recommends mobility-assistance planning for visitors who may find uneven/hilly terrain difficult. Ways to get involved 2026 Fair volunteer shifts are open, though some shifts are already filling. Most 2026 vendor/exhibitor and presenter application windows closed in spring; use the current MOFGA applications pages rather than assuming those are still open.
