The Dunn County Fair Board is excited to welcome visitors back in person to this year’s Dunn County Fair. It’s officially summer when the fairgrounds open! This year, the fair runs from Wednesday, July 21 to Sunday, July 25.
Admission begins at 3pm on Wednesday, July 21. With five days of fun to be had, there is plenty of time to eat vast amounts of fabulous food in between visits to the animal barns, getting dizzy on carnival rides, and checking out the outdoor entertainment!
The carnival opens at 5pm on Wednesday. An unlimited rides pass costs $40 in advance (from the Dunn County Fair Office) and $60 at the ticket booth.
Grandstand events start Thursday, July 22, with the first of two Fair Night at the Races with Red Cedar Speedway. The truck and tractor pull is Saturday night, and exciting new acts performing on the Free Stage will be announced over the coming weeks.
Guidelines for staying safe while attending the fair will be updated nearer the opening date to best reflect the current COVID-19 situation and local infection rates.
