Iowa State Fair: Record-setting attendance, local award winners

Looking back at 2022 Iowa State Fair
From attendance to foods, livestock and woodcarvings, to new programs, rides and entertainment, it was truly a year to remember at the Iowa State Fair. Overall, attendance in 2022 was up nearly 25,000 people when compared to the 2021 attendance number of 1,094,480 with 1,118,763 people attending this year. An all-time one-day record number of 128,298 people attended on Saturday, Aug. 20. The old record of 127,277 was made the first Saturday of the Fair in 1991. Also on Aug. 20, the Iowa State Fair crushed the Guinness World Record for largest cornhole tournament with 730 participants. The previous record of 444 participants was made in San Diego, California in 2019.

Obviously they are doing something right. It’s been decades since I went to the fair in Des Moines. I’m sure that much has changed and much remains the same.
