Guide to Knox County Fairgrounds: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

Set just west of downtown Galesburg at 1392 Knox Highway 9, Knox County Fairgrounds is where Illinois traditions meet big-night energy. The multipurpose grounds host the annual Knox County Fair along with touring country shows, classic rock nights, rodeos, tractor pulls, and demolition derbies. An expansive grandstand faces a wide track and infield, creating flexible layouts for concerts and motorsports alike. Seasonal festivals, 4-H showcases, and community gatherings round out a busy calendar that brings locals and road-tripping fans together.

Expect open-air vibes with clear sightlines from the grandstand and plenty of standing room near the track when events allow. Food stands and pop-up vendors serve fair favorites, while on-site parking simplifies arrival. The fairgrounds are a quick drive from U.S. Route 34 and I-74, making it easy to reach from Peoria, the Quad Cities, and beyond.
