The 2023 Rock County Fair kicks off in Luverne on Wednesday, July 26, and continues through Saturday, July 29.
The annual event continues to grow each year with entertainment, 4-H exhibits, food, education programs, rides, racing, concerts and much more, according to Rock County Ag Society President Lee Sells.
“We are always trying to offer as much free entertainment as possible to make the fair as fun as it can be for the most people,” he said.
“We have been busy planning events, looking for new ones, and inviting favorites back to this year’s four-day event. As a result, there’s a little bit of everything for everyone.”
Admission to the Rock County fair is free.
See the 2023 Fair Preview special edition in this week’s newspaper for much more information about this year’s fair.
Grandstand events include Celebrity Donkey Races Wednesday night and tractor pulls on Thursday night.
The Friday night grandstand lineup features the new Ag Olympics and Kiss the Pig followed by the Undercover Band.
The popular enduro races return to the grandstand oval track Saturday night.
Midway and carnival rides will be open Wednesday and Thursday at 5 p.m., Friday at 3 p.m., and at noon on Saturday.
