Southwest Iowa's long-running county fair in Avoca, with livestock shows, live music and classic fair fun.
Six days in mid-July · Pottawattamie County Fairgrounds, Avoca, Iowa
The Pottawattamie County Fair is the county fair for Council Bluffs and its rural neighbors, held each July at the fairgrounds in Avoca, Iowa. The 2026 edition was the 130th annual fair, which makes it one of the oldest recurring events in the region.
Expect a classic Iowa county fair: livestock shows, 4-H exhibits, fair food, family activities and evening concerts. The 2026 music lineup included Cole Rath and Finding Dixie.
Avoca is a straight shot east on Interstate 80 from Council Bluffs, so it makes an easy half-day trip for visitors who want a taste of rural Iowa.
