Kids Expo – Dubuque County, a premier family fun and resource fair, will take place on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the Grand River Center in Dubuque. Admission to the event and activities are FREE, thanks to the generosity of local sponsors.

Families will visit over 40 booths to learn more about resources in the community and pick up information and giveaways. Exhibitors will include arts, sports, recreational groups, educational services, health care services, social service groups, family-friendly businesses, and many more.

Quality fun for families is a highlight of Kids Expo – Dubuque County. Throughout the day, the event will feature crafts, games, and stage entertainment. Activities will include balloon artists, face painters, musical performances, dance demonstrations, and make-and-takes. A map of the exhibitors will be available at the door.

Kids Expo – Dubuque County will offer health services for children, including pediatric immunizations, flu shots, oral health screenings, lead testing, vision checks, and developmental screenings. Immunizations require an advance appointment through the Visiting Nurse Association at (563) 556-6200. WIC support will be available, and the Hawki Coordinator will be on-site to assist with Medicaid applications.

Each family will also take home a free, newly released Family Resource Guide, which is a comprehensive reference book with additional services and activities available for children/youth in the tri-state area. This guide is a sought-after resource, and it can be used as a valuable reference tool as families grow.

Kids Expo – Dubuque County brings in over 1,500 adults and children. This year’s event is made possible through the continued work of a local planning team, who are committed to helping facilitate healthy and successful children in our community. It is also supported solely through contributions from area sponsors.
