2026 Appanoose County Fair

Get ready for one of Appanoose County’s favorite summer traditions! The Appanoose County Fair returns July 20–25, 2026, bringing six days of livestock shows, entertainment, exhibits, games, delicious fair food, and memories made with friends and family. This year’s theme, “Stars, Stripes & Summer Nights,” celebrates everything we love about county fair season—community pride, hometown traditions, and warm summer evenings spent at the fairgrounds.

Whether you’re cheering on local youth in the show ring, enjoying live entertainment, exploring exhibits, or simply taking in the sights and sounds of fair week, there’s something for everyone at the Appanoose County Fair. Join us in Centerville for a week of summer fun and small-town tradition at its best.
