The Fair
In Adel, the Dallas County Fair is a five-day early-July celebration in west-central Iowa, serving the agricultural communities of Dallas County just west of Des Moines.
What You'll Find There
Expect livestock judging, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a county rapidly transitioning from farming to suburban growth.
Local Tips
Adel is the county seat of Dallas County — the county is one of Iowa's fastest-growing as Des Moines suburbs expand westward, but the fair maintains strong agricultural traditions.
