All About Cape: The SEMO District Fair is Back!

Visit Cape

A true sign that summer is coming to an end is fair season! The SEMO District Fair is one of the longest running fairs in Missouri. It has been providing families with entertainment for 163 years.

It’s all coming back. The rides. The lights. The games. The entertainment. The FOOD. Not to mention the giant vegetables and amazing livestock.

That’s right. The SEMO District Fair will be in full swing September 8 - 15.

Before you run to grab your deep-fried Oreos or turkey drumsticks, here are three more ways to enjoy the event:

Have a family fun day. Woody’s Menagerie and Circus of Wildlife Show will inspire every kiddo’s imagination. And if that’s not enough, seeing Wade Henry juggle chainsaws should do the trick.

Or how about a date night? Enjoy a romantic Ferris wheel ride under the stars, or check out the amazing grandstand entertainment acts. You have Natalie Grant, Diamond Rio and Granger Smith to choose from or see them all and of course there’s the Hot Rod Truck Pull!

Finally, grab your friends and challenge each other at the carnival games to see who can win the biggest prize!

For laughter, fun and above all, memories that will last a lifetime, head to the SEMO District Fair September 8 - 15.

Did I mention parking is free!
