It last year attracted 1 million attendees and is an important venue for political candidates.
It had not been clear until now that Trump, the runaway frontrunner for the Republican nomination, would attend the annual fair in state capital Des Moines that runs from Aug. 10 to Aug. 20.
Trump's move to attend the event appears designed to take the spotlight away from the other Republican candidates, especially his nearest rival, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has been sinking in the polls and who is desperately trying to recalibrate his campaign in the early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire.
In 2015, early in his ultimately successful bid for the White House, and when most pundits were dismissing his campaign, Trump flew into the Iowa State Fair in a helicopter. "Just like he had a great event in 2015, he's going to have a great event at the Iowa State Fair in 2023," the aide told Reuters.
