If you have never visited a state fair, then the Iowa State Fair is definitely worth your time.
Iowa State Fairs brings a lot of fun, neat, and flavorful foods together in one place.
You can also see all sorts of interesting competitions:
– Pig calling
– Best in fruits, vegetables, and biggest pumpkin.
They set off fireworks every evening and they bring in unique bands to play in multiple different on-site venues.

We saw the Pork Tornados at the MidAmerican stage on Thursday, August 14, 2025. This is our favorite free stage at the fair, but we love that the fair has so much quality free entertainment. This band is awesome!! We highly recommend the band and the venue!!
