UD at the Iowa State Fair

Can't make it to Dubuque this summer? No worries - we're bringing the Spartan spirit to you!

Whether you're thinking about becoming a Spartan, hoping to reconnect with fellow alumni, or just want a little University of Dubuque in your day, stop by and see us at the Iowa State Fair! We love meeting future Spartans, sharing what makes UD feel like a home away from home, and catching up with alumni to hear where life has taken them since graduation.

Visit with UD from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Thursday, August 13, 2026, through Sunday, August 23, 2026, in the Varied Industries Building at the Iowa State Fair.
