A Day of Family Fun! 

Lakeside Fair: A Day of Family Fun!


The beloved Lakeside Fair is a full day of family-packed activities, proudly rooted in tradition thanks to the incredible women of the Lakeside Community Club. At the heart of the fair is their renowned Treasure Sale, often featuring one-of-a-kind artwork, with 100% of proceeds benefiting local non-profits, community events, and organizations.

This year’s excitement includes:
* 7:00AM-10:00AM: Pancake Breakfast at The Gathering Place
* 9:00AM-3:00PM: Treasure Sale at the Lakeside Elementary School organized by the Lakeside Community Club
* 11:30AM-1:30PM: A Kid’s Carnival with games, face painting, and a dunk tank in the grassy area across from Lakeside Elementary on Adams Street.
* 11:00AM: A Community Parade hosted by the Chamber of Commerce — this year’s theme: “Flathead Throwback – 70’s Style!” Free entry, just bring your tie-dye and bell bottoms! Lineup begins at 10:00AM in the Glacier Bank parking lot.
* 11:00AM-3:00PM: Delicious eats from The Corndog House and Fire & Dough Pizza food trucks in front of Lakeside Elementary School.
* 1:00PM: The Infamous Watermelon Eating Contest proudly sponsored by Stoner Creek Cabins. Limited spots and pre-signup required (first come, first serve) starting at 12:00PM at the Sliters trailer at the Kid’s Carnival.
* 4:00PM: The always-entertaining Duck Races at Tamarack Brewing Co. - place your bets earlier in the week or day-of!

Come for the fun, stay for the memories — the Lakeside Fair is a celebration of community, generosity, and good old-fashioned summer fun!
