The List of 2017 Iowa State Fairs

Fair season is almost here. Plan your summer around these Iowa Fairs.

The food, the entertainment, the smells, the drinks and all those rides. I don't know a person in the Quad Cities who doesn't look forward to fair season.

There are so many to choose from in our immediate area but also so many great ones throughout the state of Iowa. Maybe part of your vacation plans can include swinging by a new Iowa fair you've never been to yet?

Here are a few great Iowa fairs in and around the QCA and ones also a short drive away, DesMoinesRegister.com,
