Dakota County Fair

The Dakota County Fair takes place annually in Farmington, Minnesota, and is run by the Dakota County Agricultural Society. It features a wide variety of attractions including livestock shows, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, live music, and more. The fair also has special days like Senior Day, Kids' Day, and Public Safety Day. 

Come experience the sights and sounds of the early 1900’s at Dakota City during the Dakota County Fair! Go back in time to a summer day in a rural Minnesota town of 1900 – walk through historic buildings like the Depot, one-room School, and family homes, or see demonstrations at the Millinery, Print Shop, and Carpenter Shop. You can listen to music at the Bandstand and grab a delicious root beer float in the Drug Store, then head to the Gift Shop or General Store for candy and more. Don’t forget a refreshing glass of lemonade or hot corn-on-the-cob from our Corn & Lemonade Stand!
