9/4/2025- Good Morning, local area businesses and partners!
At the heart of the Dubuque County Fair is something much deeper than the food, the rides, or even the concerts. It’s the way our community comes together — families making memories, neighbors reconnecting, young people learning and growing, and traditions being carried forward for generations.
Every act, activity, and entertainment experience you see at the Fair is more than just a “show.” It’s a spark of joy in a child’s eyes. It’s the laughter of friends enjoying a summer night together. It’s a place where grandparents can bring their grandkids and say, “I used to come here when I was your age.” These moments are priceless, but they are only possible through the generosity of sponsors who help make them happen.
When a business, organization, or individual chooses to sponsor at the Dubuque County Fair, they are not just putting their name on an event. They are investing in community spirit, in family traditions, and in the kind of experiences that bring people together in today’s busy world. Your sponsorship ensures we can continue offering affordable, high-quality entertainment, keeping this gathering place accessible and welcoming to all.
Sponsoring specific things that make you, your employees, or your family happy is something we are all about as well. Into food and all things delicious? We have things like the cook off, beer olympics, and creative arts that love any sponsor opportunities to assist them in their organizing. Children loved our Tiny Town this year?
Message us today on how to join that committee for all sorts of fun opportunities with children's activities and fun learning opportunities! Concerts, tractor pulls, ground acts, eating contest, and so much more!
As a non-profit, we work year-round to keep our grounds maintained and our events thriving, so that when Fair week comes around, it feels magical for everyone who walks through the gates. But we can’t do this alone. The support of our sponsors is what allows us to say “yes” to the music, the activities, the shows, and the little touches that turn an ordinary week into a highlight of the year for so many families.
By sponsoring, you are making a direct impact on our community — supporting local youth, strengthening traditions, and creating lasting memories. And for that, we are endlessly grateful.
We provide top tier marketing opportunities to give our sponsors a spotlight they so deserve! This includes many radio ads, interviews, TV commercials, hourly announcements at the fair itself, signage, print ads in many different local papers and magazines, and so much more.
Together, we can continue to make the Dubuque County Fair a place where memories are made, where traditions live on, and where the heart of our community beats the strongest. �
Message us on here, or email [email protected] to start chatting about fun opportunities today.
