DuPage County Fair

As one of the largest industries in Illinois, agriculture was the foundation for what is known today as the DuPage County Fair. Over 180 years ago when local farmers felt it was important to bring the community together, they decided to take turns hosting a Fair. The gatherings promoted agriculture and farming and included livestock judging; judging of produce, flowers, grains and baked goods; exhibits of new farming equipment and various contests for the entire community to enjoy. The Fair moved to its permanent home in 1955. We are proud to honor the legacy of our agricultural roots at the annual DuPage County Fair held at the DuPage Events Center and Fairgrounds located at 2015 Manchester Road in Wheaton , Illinois.

NEW THIS YEAR: TOUCH A TRUCK!
The fair will have Touch-A-Truck for the first 4 hours of every day. These vehicles are from police and fire departments as well as public works offices for towns and villages across DuPage County. The vehicles will change everyday. They will even have an antique ambulance everyday and the National Guard will be making an appearance one day.

The fair this year is Thursday July 23rd from 11am-10pm, Friday is July 24th from 11 am to 11 pm, Saturday July 25th from noon to 11 pm, and Sunday July 26th from noon to 8 p.m.  Touch-A-Truck runs from 11 am to 3 pm on Thursday and Friday and then from noon to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday.

The Touch-A-Truck component is included with general admission
