The Rock Island County Fair Is Coming Up Sooner Than You Think
Before the Mississippi Valley Fair gets here in less than a month, there's another fair happening even sooner: The Rock Island County Fair.
The fair is happening next week, July 19-23rd at the Rock Island County Fairgrounds in East Moline. It will have carnival rides, stock car races, livestock shows, a demolition derby, and more. And yes, funnel cakes too. They'll also have family entertainment shows, a Calf Corner, and a Hidden Barn Escape game.
You'll find a beer tent at the fair with bands performing from 7/21-7/23. Gate admission is free before 8:00 p.m. (parking on the fairgrounds is $25 but parking outside of the fairgrounds in designated areas is free) After 8, it's $5 for adults, kids 12 and under are still free. You can get unlimited ride wristbands for $25 and the carnival rides are cash only.
