Making Memories!

Story

The 63rd Annual DuPage County Fair will be held July 26-30, 2017 at our current Fairgrounds in Wheaton IL.

Our mission is to educate the residents of not only DuPage County but the surrounding counties about today’s agriculture and how important it is to this country. The Fairgrounds itself is a non for profit organization that is committed to helping other non for profit groups, clubs and organizations by partnering with them to better DuPage County!

Our lease is up in the year 2020 and we are currently working with County Board Chairman Cronin & The County Board on a possible re-development plan for the current fairgrounds. The Fair Association is looking to partner with other local organizations that will help us with our current mission. To get involved please contact the fair office at (630)-668-6636 more information to come.

I love the DuPage County Fair and fairgrounds! It's been a part of my life since before I joined 4-H at eight years of age. But with 10 years of showing in 4-H and even more showing open class projects, as well as being a 4-H Leader when my kids were young, I have many wonderful memories. And it's great to see all the improvements and updates that the Fair Board is now making. The new landscaping and all the remodeling projects on the buildings are making the grounds even more beautiful. Even though I no longer live in DuPage County and can't make it to every event, I always try to find a way to attend the fair in July. Kudos to the Board and fair management for all the hard work and volunteer hours it takes to continue this great tradition!!

The prices seemed to go up a lot this year.  But a great experience overall.  So many great food choices!  Get those prices down and I'll give it five stars.  Attendance should increase, too.

I have been visiting the Dupage County Fair since long before I was in 4-H as a child. Some of my most favorite childhood memories involve those fairgrounds. I am now a mother and I make sure to bring my 5 year old EVERY year... even though we now live over 3 hours away. 
There is something for just about everyone, and I think this fair is a great family fun activity for summer in Dupage County.

The Dupage Co 4H for many years has used the fairgrounds for two weekends a year for horse activities.  In the far corner of the property, a very nice fenced arena existed.  Maintenance dept had to do nothing to maintain it.  They did nothing to keep it nice.  4H would smooth it out each year and pick up all the rocks that worked their way up.  The girls and parents worked hard to always leave the facility clean when we left.  Very little effort, if any was every expended by staff for the kids to participate.  NO one used the ring except the 4H.  However,  some shortsighted bureaucrat or board member thought the fence around the arena should be taken down and ruining the arena for horse use.  They decided it would look nicer in in some other area and wreck the 4H event.  Pathetic.   So, the group was forced to purchase on their own a flimsy temp fencing that was about 1/4th the size because of cost.   Thankfully no one got injured.  Pathetic choice whom ever made it.  I am so glad my tax $ is being put to such good use.

Nice family day out! No crowds on Friday afternoon made for easy enjoyment of the entire fair.
