About Us
The Jackson County Fair Board, its officers, Association members, manager, staff and Volunteers are pleased to announce the 2026 Jackson County Fair schedule of events and information. All fair information is organized and printed here and on our website for the convenience of YOU, the fairgoer. This information is a result of the co-operative efforts of the Jackson County Fair Board, and the Iowa State University Extension Service of Jackson County Iowa.

Endless credit goes to the Jackson County Fair Association, 4-H and FFA, concessionaires, exhibitors, Evans United Shows, workers and all of the service organizations for all the work they do to make the Jackson County Fair an amazing 6 full days of entertainment and activities.
