Welcome to the Scott County Free Fair!

This Year's Fair — July 18th - 25th, 2026

Join us July 18–25 for the 2026 Scott County Free Fair, themed “Blooming with 4-H at the Fair,” as the community comes together for a full week of family fun, youth achievement, livestock shows, entertainment, and fair traditions. The week kicks off with pre-fair events including dog and pet shows, fashion revue judging and public fashion show, photo workshops, and the always-popular 4-H Horse Show. Throughout the week, 4-H members will showcase their talents and hard work through exhibit judging, livestock competitions, bake sales, rocket launches, and the annual 4-H livestock and champion foods auction.

Family Day on Saturday, July 18 launches the fair with activities for all ages, including turtle races, a ping pong ball drop, pedal tractor pull, Touch-A-Truck, sidewalk chalk art, crafts, and the KPRA Rodeo. Daily attractions throughout the week include exhibit buildings, face painting, bingo, livestock shows, barrel racing, roping, rabbit and poultry shows, and exciting grandstand events such as the Figure 8 Race, NSPA Tractor Pull, Ranch Rodeo, and Power Sports Rodeo. Visitors can also enjoy community favorites like the Free Beefiesta BBQ, watermelon feed, beer garden, and free entertainment events.

The fair wraps up on Saturday, July 25 with the Scott County Free Fair Parade down Main Street, tasting booths in City Park, and final opportunities to explore exhibits before teardown begins. Whether you come for the livestock shows, delicious food, thrilling grandstand events, or simply to celebrate community traditions, the Scott County Free Fair offers something for everyone.
