About the Marcus Community Fair
2025 marks 89 years of tradition, celebration, and community spirit known as the Marcus Community Fair. Since its beginning, the Fair has focused on family and has proudly served as a platform for youth and community members of all ages to learn, showcase their talents, and engage in friendly competition.
Rooted deeply in our community’s ties to agriculture, local industry, and small business, the Fair reflects the values and strengths that form the backbone of Marcus. It’s also become an annual homecoming—where friends and families reconnect, celebrate, and reminisce.
This year marks the 41st consecutive year of free gate admission, made possible through a combination of community fundraisers, county and state support, grant funding, and the generosity of local sponsors.
The Fair also plays a vital role in supporting the local economy and contributes to the broader economic health of Iowa.
Our dedicated board works year-round to plan, promote, and maintain growing fairgrounds that can host an event of this caliber. They’re joined by countless volunteers who help make the Fair possible each year. Without this support, the Marcus Community Fair wouldn’t be what it is today.
Thank you to everyone who supports and attends the 2025 Marcus Community Fair.
See you at the Fair!
