Daily Attendance
The State Fair is Iowa's largest event, annually attracting visitors from all over the Midwest, as well as the rest of the U.S. and many foreign countries.
Below are daily attendance estimates. After the Fair, these figures will be set aside and an actual count of daily sales, advance sales, exhibitors, concessionaires, campers, children, credentials, half price, etc. will be made to determine the final total attendance.
