Looking for something fun to switch up your experiences at the Fair? Join in on the fun at the BINGO tent! Located on Grand Avenue near the Service Center, BINGO, sponsored by AARP Iowa, offers Fairgoers the chance to win cash prizes while supporting the Iowa State Fair Blue Ribbon Foundation!
For just $1 each per game, players can purchase as many cards as they desire. At the end of each round, the money collected is split between the winner and the Blue Ribbon Foundation. All the money awarded to the Foundation helps fund the Fair's mission to preserve and restore the historic Fairgrounds.
This year, BINGO will take place on August 19 and 20, from 9 AM to 7 PM.
Whether this is your first time or one of your favorite Fair traditions, the Foundation welcomes you! Your participation is a small investment, with a larger impact.
In addition to the game excitement, guests can enjoy a special celebrity guest caller throughout the event. These celebrities are local leaders, personalities, and Fair favorites, and they're the ones that help keep the action alive and memorable!
So, mark your calendars, and practice your best “BINGO!” call. We hope to see you there!
