About Dakota County Fair
The Dakota County Fair is one of the Twin Cities metro's largest and most attended county fairs, running a full week in mid-August and drawing visitors from across the south metro. Dakota County is both a major agricultural producer and one of Minnesota's most populous counties.
What to Expect
A full week of livestock shows, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, grandstand concerts, a demolition derby, and extensive food and vendor options await fairgoers.
Visitor Tips
Plan for at least a full day — the Dakota County Fair is large enough to explore over multiple visits, and weekday attendance is significantly lighter than weekends.
