The Southern Iowa Fair stands out as a vibrant celebration of community and tradition in Oskaloosa, drawing visitors from near and far. Established on October 23, 1852, this annual event has deep roots in the region's history, having hosted the Iowa State Fair in both 1858 and 1859. A highlight of the fairgrounds is the historic Stock Judging Pavilion, constructed in 1919 and proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 12, 1984. This pavilion, along with the Exhibit Hall and Varied Industries Building, serves as the heart of fair activities. The Exhibit Hall showcases numerous 4-H projects, while the Varied Industries Building features booths from local businesses, offering a taste of the community's entrepreneurial spirit. Beyond fair time, these versatile buildings are available for rent, accommodating weddings, reunions, and winter storage. Another major attraction at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds is the race track, which hosts a variety of exciting events throughout the year. Mark your calendars for the third week of July, when the Southern Iowa Fair comes to life with festivities, entertainment, and a sense of camaraderie. We invite you to experience the charm and excitement of the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds!
