DuPage Event Center & Fairgrounds At the DuPage Event Center & Fairgrounds, we believe in bringing people together. To help us with our mission.

From family-friendly festivals and cultural celebrations to expos, shows, and community gatherings, our fairgrounds are a place where memories are made year-round. The mission of the DuPage County Fair Association is to educate the residents of DuPage County and others about todayโ€™s agriculture and its importance to our country. As a non-profit association, we are committed to helping other non-profit groups, clubs and organizations through their use of the fairgrounds as an event center destination for their year-round events. To get involved and for more information, please contact the fair office at (630) 668-6636.

๐Ÿ‚ September at the DuPage Event Center & Fairgrounds ๐Ÿ‚

The fair may be over, but things are still happening at the DuPage Event Center & Fairgrounds! From community gatherings to events that bring our volunteers and neighbors together, thereโ€™s always something happening here. ๐Ÿ’œ

As we move into fall, you may also notice some changes around the grounds as construction continues on the northern portion of the property. While things may look a little different, we're continuing to welcome events and visitors and are grateful for everyone who continues to make the fairgrounds The Place Where Community Gathers.

๐Ÿ“… Take a look at what's happening this September and make plans to join us!

And a special thank you to our volunteers, event organizers, community partners, and everyone who continues to support this special place. The fair may only happen once a year, but the community doesn't stop gathering when the gates close. ๐Ÿ’œ
