Dubuque County Fair
Now in its 55th year, the annual Fair is a time-honored celebration of arts, culture, music, agriculture, and just about everything else that makes a county fair, well, a county fair! Scheduled for July 22 - 27, the Dubuque County Fair promises to have something for everyone. Daily attractions at the Dubuque County Fair will include a mega carnival provided by North American Midway Entertainment, featuring all your favorite rides.

Other daily attractions include the Blaszak Cat Show, Kids Bucks, motorcycle "bad boy" Steve Trash, and Pedalsworth, who can do things with a unicycle that even most clowns wouldn't dream of....
