WELCOME to our 2025 DuPage County Fair Open Class Competition! We are happy to announce that the Fair will be held 4 days, Thursday through Sunday, July 24-27, 2025. This is our 71st Anniversary of the Fair in Wheaton. The Open Class Agricultural Sciences & Home Economics and Arts Divisions are exclusive to DuPage County residents; anyone ages 5 and up can enter. Last year many new classes were added to each department, and this year we added more! We have kept the Youth Division for kids 5-7 years of age, and the "Advanced Photo" section in Photography. Check out the Adults Division of Arts & Crafts for new, engaging classes! We are using "sunflowers" as our theme in our building again this year, so there are many competitive classes relating to "sunflowers". The most significant change last year, which will be continued again this year, is that an entry fee is not required for each class. Instead, buying an exhibitor pass allows you to enter as many classes as you choose.

Please read the 2025 General Rules and Regulations before entering. Online entries will begin June 1st and end Monday, July 14th. We hope to see lots of exhibits at the fair where residents of DuPage County can show their skills and earn money and ribbons! We look forward to seeing sunflowers, new entries and new exhibitors this year! Enter and join the FUN!
