August in Sterling: Summer’s Not Over Yet
Just because the calendar’s creeping toward fall doesn’t mean the fun’s slowing down. In Sterling, August is packed with events, energy, and one last chance to squeeze every drop out of summer. From fairground action to poolside lounging and everything in between, here’s what’s happening:
The Logan County Fair Is On
The fairgrounds are buzzing, and if you haven’t been yet, now’s the time. The Logan County Fair is in full swing, with all the classics: rodeos, funnel cakes, livestock shows, and hometown pride.
But the main event?
🎤 The concert hits on August 2 — and it’s the kind of night you’ll want boots, friends, and a little room to dance with performances from Jo Dee Messina and Clare Dunn.

Soak It In While You Can
August is summer’s encore — and there’s still time to make it count.
- North Sterling State Park has the lake days you’re craving: boats, beaches, and room to roam.
- The Sterling Recreation Center’s outdoor pool is still open, but not for long. Slides, splash zones, and summer energy — available for a limited time only.
Bottom line: now is the moment for cannonballs, sunburns (wear sunscreen), and end-of-season swims.
Last Flea Market of the Season
If you love a good treasure hunt, this one’s for you.
🗓️ Saturday, August 23 | 7 AM–1 PM
📍 Behind Christ Methodist Church, Downtown Sterling
The final Downtown Sterling Flea Market of the year is your chance to browse vintage gems, handmade goods, and local finds you didn’t know you needed.
Sugar Beet Days Is Coming
Fall’s favorite festival returns next month — but it’s worth putting on your radar now.
🗓️ September 20–21
📍 Logan County Courthouse Square
Expect craft and food vendors, live music, family activities, and small-town charm in full effect. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, Sugar Beet Days delivers.
No need to rush the season. August in Sterling has plenty left to give — so take your time, show up to the good stuff, and enjoy the ride.
