The Winnebago County Fair Board is made up of 27 dedicated members. Throughout the year, these volunteers generously give their time, often working evenings and weekends, to maintain the grounds, prepare for events, and help ensure each event runs smoothly. Their commitment and hard work are essential to the continued success of the fair and the many activities held at the fairgrounds. 

   Located at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds, our facility offers more than 108 acres of indoor and outdoor space for a wide variety of events, including music festivals, motorsports, auto and trade shows, conventions, antique markets, festivals, social gatherings, and, of course, the Winnebago County Fair.

   We believe every family deserves a safe, affordable place to come together, have fun, and create lasting memories. Through the dedication of our volunteers and the support of our community, we work hard to keep family fun alive and honor the traditions that make our fairgrounds special. From educational opportunities to exciting events and entertainment for all ages, there is something for everyone to enjoy. So kick boredom to the curb at the Winnebago County Fairgrounds, where we celebrate community!
