Missouri State Fairgrounds

Year-round the Missouri State Fairgrounds provide an ideal venue for a wide range of events and a large campground to keep you close to all the action. Just as you won’t want to miss any of the excitement of the 11 days of the Missouri State Fair (August 10-20, 2023) you won’t want to miss any the other entertainment offered year-round on the Missouri State Fairgrounds.   Sedalia’s reputation as an easy-to-access regional commerce destination allows shows and sales hosted at the Missouri State Fairgrounds to draw from a wide geography across the state and across the Midwest.  Below is a just a sample of some of the exciting upcoming events taking place at the Missouri State Fairgrounds.
