Each summer, the Marion County Fair transforms the historic Marion County Fairgrounds into the heart of the community, and 2026 promises to be no exception. From June 28 through July 4, friends and neighbors will gather at 220 East Fairground Street in Marion to celebrate the very best of county fair tradition.

The week offers something for every member of the family. Grandstand entertainment anchors the schedule, with crowd favorites such as truck and tractor pulls and a spirited demolition derby. The fairgrounds, home to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, will also showcase the dedication of local youth through 4-H and FFA exhibits, where months of hard work in livestock care, agriculture, and craftsmanship are proudly on display.

The celebration reaches its peak on Saturday, July 4, when a spectacular fireworks display lights up the night sky at 10pm, a fitting finale that brings the fair and Independence Day together in one unforgettable evening.

Whether you come for the thrill of the grandstand, the charm of the exhibit halls, or simply a classic summer evening of fair food and friendly faces, the Marion County Fair is a treasured tradition worth marking on your calendar.
