Fairgoers heading to this year’s Berrien County Youth Fair in Berrien Springs can once again take advantage of a crowd favorite: unlimited ride wristbands—good every day of Fair week. And for those looking to stretch their summer dollars, a limited-time pre-sale offers big savings on those wristbands starting this coming week.
During the Fair (August 11–16), ride wristbands will be sold for $32 each at the midway. But starting Monday, July 7, a pre-sale price of just $27 per wristband will be available—saving families $5 per wristband, with no limit on how many they can purchase.
The discounted wristbands are available through August 8 at:
- Honor Credit Union branches in Baroda, Benton Harbor, Berrien Springs, Buchanan, Coloma, Dowagiac, Niles, St. Joseph, and Stevensville
- The BCYF office in Berrien Springs
Each pre-sale purchase comes in the form of a voucher, which can be redeemed at the Fair for a wristband, good for unlimited rides on any one day between Tuesday and Saturday. Vouchers are not tied to a specific day—you pick the day you want to ride when you arrive at the midway.
Fair organizers say the all-day flexibility and easy exchange process are a big reason wristband sales continue to grow year after year. Ride lines tend to be more manageable with this format, and it offers greater freedom for families planning their visit.
All rides are operated by North American Midway Entertainment, a longtime partner of BCYF. Minimum height for most rides is 36 inches, though some rides may have additional height requirements.
To save money and skip the full-price line during Fair week, plan ahead and grab your wristband vouchers by August 8. For more information, contact the Fair office at 269-473-4251 or visit www.bcyf.org.
