DYLAN SCOTT & ASHLEY COOKE SET TO HEADLINE THE JACKSON COUNTY FAIR – AUGUST 1, 2026

The Jackson County Fair is turning up the volume for 2026 with an unforgettable country concert event! On Saturday, August 1, 2026, country hitmaker Dylan Scott and rising star Ashley Cooke will take the grandstand stage at the Jackson County Fairgrounds in Maquoketa, Iowa for a night of powerhouse performances, chart-topping hits, and small-town summer magic.

Known for platinum hits like “My Girl,” “New Truck,” “Can’t Have Mine,” and “Nobody,” Dylan Scott brings his signature mix of country soul and Louisiana roots back to the Midwest for one of Iowa’s most anticipated live shows of the summer.

Joining him is Ashley Cooke, one of country music’s most exciting new voices. With breakout songs like “your place,” “the hell you are,” and her heartfelt duet “Never Til Now” featuring Brett Young, Cooke’s relatable lyrics and fresh sound have captivated audiences across the nation.

“Every year, we look for artists who can light up our stage and give fairgoers a night to remember,” said Mark Killer, Jackson County Fair Board President. “Dylan Scott and Ashley Cooke are exactly that — high energy, chart-topping, and perfect for a summer night in Maquoketa.”

The concert is part of the 2026 Jackson County Fair, running July 29 – August 2, 2026, featuring family favorites like the Truck & Tractor Pull, Night of Destruction, Safari Petting Zoo, and Kid’s Pedal Pull, plus carnival rides, local food vendors, and much more.
