Du Quoin State Fair

🚨The Rodeo scheduled for Friday night has been moved to Sunday at 4pm!

🚨The Fairytales on Ice performance scheduled for Friday evening at 7:00pm will be moved from the Grandstand to inside the Southern Illinois Center. Families with purchased tickets already will be provided preferred seating.

Out of an abundance of caution and to ensure safety of parade participants and spectators, the parade is canceled for Fri evening Aug 25. The decision was reached after consultation with the IEMA and working with forecasts from the National Weather Service.
