Cuyahoga County Fair

This year, the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department will lead public safety operations throughout the Cuyahoga County Fair, working alongside local and state public safety partners to help provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.  Fair safety planning is a year-round collaborative effort, with law enforcement agencies working together to prepare for a wide range of situations so residents and visitors can enjoy the event with confidence.  The public is one of our greatest partners in keeping the fair safe.  We ask everyone who plans to attend the fair to stay aware of their surroundings, and if you see something that looks out of place, say something.  Your awareness and willingness to speak up can help to ensure a safe, memorable fair experience for all.

Deputies will be stationed throughout the fairgrounds and will be walking the grounds to engage with fairgoers, answer questions, and provide a visible public safety presence.

Tips for a safe County Fair experience:

• If you see something, say something.  Report suspicious or illegal activity to law enforcement.  Call 9-1-1 for emergencies.
• Have a plan – before you leave the house, make sure to designate a family meeting area should you and your loved ones become separated.
• Be mindful of small children.  Little kids can become lost in a crowd quickly, which is dangerous and scary.  Tell children to look for someone in uniform should they become lost.
• If your child becomes lost, contact law enforcement immediately. Don’t wait for them to return on their own.
  • Be aware of the General Rules of the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds and/or its immediate properties that include all parking areas
  • Alcoholic beverages may NOT be brought onto the fairgrounds
  • Bags and packages may be inspected

The Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department looks forward to welcoming residents and visitors to the Cuyahoga County Fair and is committed to helping to ensure that everyone has a safe, enjoyable, memorable experience.  We look forward to seeing you at the fair.
