Contest Central

Got game? Bring it when you come to the Fair! The tradition of friendly, comical and even sometimes ridiculous contests is alive and kicking at the Michigan State Fair. Visit Contest Central and watch or enter contests such as the Diaper Derby, Watermelon Seed Spitting, Hot dog, Corn-on-the-cob and Pie eating contests, just to name a few.

Contest Central at the Michigan State Fair is a place to have silly fun and make memories…Who doesn’t want to be related to the Pie Eating Champion of the State Fair or any of our other contest winners?
