One of our favorite parts of the fair is giving local legends a place to take the stage and show us the dazzling talent they have with music! Check out these amazing standout, spotlight stars, playing in the Festival Garden during the Dubuque County Fair this year! Make a little noise for them! 🙂

Something new and exciting we are trying this year is "Sensory-Safe Hours" during the 6 days of the fair. From 8am-9am, you can experience a much quieter grounds, with no bands or concerts playing, no crazy lights, and very minimal crowds. We have ground acts like the bubble tower, exotic animal zoo, Old MacDonald's Farm, and Tiny Town to check out and experience during the hour the gates first open!
