Morgan County Fair

Tue, Jul 08 – Tue, Jul 15, 2025 • 8:00am - 5:00pm

110 North Westgate Avenue, Jacksonville, IL, USA, Jacksonville, IL 62650

Join Morgan County for a fun filled week of carnival rides, the demolition derby, tractor pulls, livestock shows, and live performances by hit Country Pop artists, Dustin Lynch and Warren Zeiders!

Mark your calendars for the quintessential, Midwestern County fair experience at the Morgan County Fair. Don’t miss country stars Dustin Lynch on July 11 and Warren Zeiders on July 12 as both singers rock the Grandstand stage. Enjoy a carnival for all ages, heart-pounding action during the Demolition derby, and truck and tractor pulls at the Grandstand — or cheer on friends, family, and neighbors during the talent show and Queen Pageant. New this year is the Salute the Troops event. Compete in volleyball and bags tournaments and support local growers and makers during the adult and kids' projects, ranging from livestock and horse competitions to textiles and fine arts.
