The gates are open and the 2026 Dubuque County Fair is officially underway! Opening Day features free admission, making it the perfect opportunity to experience everything the fair has to offer.

Spend the day visiting the livestock barns, exploring the Creative Arts Building and 4-H exhibits, watching Scott’s Comedy & Magic Show, Grace Good, and Mike Walker’s “Lasting Impressions,” or taking the kids to Tiny Town, Old MacDonald’s Farm, the Exotic Animal Zoo, and the Foam & Bubble Show.

Tonight’s featured entertainment is the Country Duets and Neil Diamond Tribute featuring Doug Allen Nash, sure to be an enjoyable evening of music for fairgoers of all ages.

As the week continues, look forward to Kids Day, country and rock concerts, truck and tractor pulls, Family Day activities, and the always-exciting demolition derby. Every day offers something different, so plan to visit often.
