A Closer Look
Davenport is home to the Scott Mississippi Valley Fair, which is a six-day early-August celebration in the Quad Cities, drawing 300,000 visitors to one of the largest fairs in the Midwest and the premier event of Iowa's most urban county. A 1920 founding makes it one of Iowa's longer-running agricultural traditions, still going after more than a century.
