Families Invited to the 21st Annual Kids Expo

Kids Expo – Dubuque County, a family fun and resource fair, will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Grand River Center in Dubuque. Admission to the event and activities is free.

Families will visit over 40 booths to learn more about resources in the community and pick up information and giveaways. Exhibitors will include arts, sports, recreational groups, educational services, health care services, social service groups, family-friendly businesses, and many more. Toys for Tots has donated a toy for each child who attends (while supplies last). They will be available at the Dubuque County Early Childhood booth.

Throughout the day, the event will feature crafts, games, and stage entertainment. Activities will include balloon artists, face painters, musical performances, dance demonstrations, and make-and-takes. A map of the exhibitors will be available at the door.

Kids Expo – Dubuque County will offer health services for children, including pediatric immunizations, flu shots, oral health screenings, lead testing, vision checks, wellness checks, car seat checks and developmental screenings. Immunizations require an advance appointment through the Visiting Nurse Association at (563) 556-6200. WIC support will be available, and the Hawk-i Coordinator will be on-site to assist with Medicaid applications.

Each family will also take home a free, newly released Family Resource Guide, which is a comprehensive reference book with additional services and activities available for children/youth in the tri-state area.
