As Illinoisans and visitors from around the country gather in Springfield for the State Fair, supermajority Democrats will take the stage and spotlight on Wednesday. And while Democrats will tout all of their ‘successes’ and rant and rave about the federal government, the smoke screen they create will attempt to hide all of their failures. But those failures continue to mount, and they are being noticed by Illinois families who are tired of bad policies, sky-high taxes, and a struggling economy offering little hope for the future.

The 2025 Illinois State Fair is only one week away, and this year promises plenty of adventure and excitement at the state fairgrounds in Springfield.

This year’s event features a showcase of Illinois agriculture and products, as well as plenty of carnival rides, attractions, concerts and (of course) good food!

The event kicks off on Thursday August 7 with the annual State Fair Twilight Parade through Springfield and into the fairgrounds.
