It’s Always State Fair Time

Sounds Like Fun

Summer isn’t the only season you’ll want to visit the Iowa State Fairgrounds! Located at East 30th Street and East University Avenue in Des Moines (map), this super-sized venue provides the setting for numerous events year round.

Check out these early entries on the spring calendar:

Greater Iowa R.V. Show, Mar 23 – 25
Head to the Varied Industries Building for a head start on the camping season. What a great opportunity to compare a wide-range of motor homes, travel trailers and fifth wheels. Truck campers and pop up trailers, too!

Prairie Tractor Pullers Spring Shoot-out, Mar 23 – 24
This event – located in Pioneer Pavilion – features side by side tracks for continuous action and includes stock garden tractors, motorcycle engines and more.

Planned Parenthood Book Sale, Mar 29 – Apr 2
Read any good books lately? Here’s your chance! This popular event in the 4-H Exhibits Building promises over 300 new, used and antique books, plus audiobooks in many formats.

You’ll find all this and more at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
