EXPOSITION GARDENS has made the difficult decision to postpone the 2020 Heart of Illinois Fair scheduled for July 14-18. We were holding out hope that we might still be able to open the gates for some summer family fun. Unfortunately, it would be unwise and impractical to open trying to meet the Governor's current Restore Illinois guidelines. Even if the state goes to Phase 4 at the end of June, we would be limited on the number of attendees and would face daunting challenges to meet all safety guidelines. At this time, we are forced to postpone until a new date can be set later in the year.
