The Aurora Lions will now shift their focus to planning next year's fair.

(Aurora, Ind.) – Aurora’s biggest event of the year has been cancelled.

After nearly 10 months of planning for the 112th Aurora Farmers Fair, the Aurora Lions have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 fair due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Aurora Lions released the following statement:

“Please know we tried our best to modify the fair to meet all the guidelines in place. We know what this event means to our community and many of its churches and organizations. However, your health and safety come first. We thank you for all your past support of this great event. Planning for the best Farmers Fair ever in 2021 has already begun.”
