The Sangamon County Fair Fall Festival scheduled for October 2-4 has been canceled due to the ever changing uncertainty around the COVID-19 pandemic. The Sangamon County Fair Board of Directors attempted to salvage the 2020 fair by hosting a Fall Festival in October when it became apparent that the annual Sangamon County Fair was not going to be possible in June.

Fair Board President Nathan Smith says, “Back in May our hope was that by October it would be safe to have an event with large numbers of people gathered, but the increases in COVID-19 cases locally and statewide, and the restrictions in place at this time, make it impossible to host a fall festival.”

Preparations for the 2021 Sangamon County Fair are still underway. Live concerts, a truck and tractor pull, and a demo derby are planned in the grandstand as well as the 2021 Sangamon County Fair Queen Pageant, livestock shows, grounds acts, local bands, a carnival and everything else fairgoers have come to love will be back next year. The fair will run June 16-20, 2021.
