Can I bring my pet to Lakefair?
We (Capitalarians) at Lakefair all love our own pets just as much as you love yours and we love to take them places with us.
Most animals are not used to large groups of people in tight areas and this can cause serious problems not only to your pet, or yourself but possibly to innocent bystanders. There have been some incidents at Lakefair over the years which now requires Capital Lakefair to request that you leave your pets at home. The only animals we permit during Capital Lakefair are Certified Service Animals.PLEASE LEAVE YOUR PETS AT HOME!
