🍂 September at the DuPage Event Center & Fairgrounds 🍂

The fair may be over, but things are still happening at the DuPage Event Center & Fairgrounds! From community gatherings to events that bring our volunteers and neighbors together, there’s always something happening here. 💜

As we move into fall, you may also notice some changes around the grounds as construction continues on the northern portion of the property. While things may look a little different, we're continuing to welcome events and visitors and are grateful for everyone who continues to make the fairgrounds The Place Where Community Gathers.

📅 Take a look at what's happening this September and make plans to join us!

And a special thank you to our volunteers, event organizers, community partners, and everyone who continues to support this special place. The fair may only happen once a year, but the community doesn't stop gathering when the gates close. 💜

💜 Thank You to the Sponsors of the 185th DuPage County Fair! 💜

As we reflect on another incredible year at the DuPage County Fair, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the businesses, organizations, and community partners who helped make this year's fair possible.

For 185 years, the DuPage County Fair has brought our community together to celebrate agriculture, education, and family traditions. That legacy continues because of the support of partners who believe in preserving this special place for future generations.

Your investment helps create opportunities for youth, support educational experiences, provide family entertainment, and ensure the DuPage County Fair remains The Place Where Community Gathers.

To each of our sponsors—thank you for believing in our mission and helping keep this tradition alive.

We encourage our community to support the businesses and organizations that support your fair. ❤️
