Van Duyne, Royse City Chamber partner for 2026 North Texas Job Fair
Roughly 300 employers, about 10,000 jobs, are already lined up for the August 6 fair at Globe Life Field, with Royse City Chamber backing the push into Rockwall County.
About 300 businesses are already registered for the 2026 North Texas Job Fair, representing roughly 10,000 jobs and giving Rockwall County workers a single stop with far more scale than a typical local recruiting event. The fair returns to Globe Life Field in Arlington on Thursday, August 6, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne hosting it for the fifth year.
For job seekers, the strongest draw is breadth. The event has been built around entry-level work, skilled trades, corporate leadership and fields that continue to post steady demand across North Texas: healthcare, public safety, aviation, manufacturing, energy, government and nonprofit jobs. The 2025 fair drew more than 500 employers and organizations and more than 35,000 attendees, while the 2024 event brought together more than 500 businesses, municipalities and government agencies and offered more than 22,000 job opportunities to more than 25,000 North Texans. That kind of volume makes the drive to Arlington more appealing for anyone casting a wide net.
Registration is already open online for both employers and job seekers. The event site says the fair is returning to Globe Life Field as a central hub for employers, job seekers and workforce resources, which matters for Rockwall County residents deciding whether to spend a day on the road or stay closer to home. If the goal is to compare multiple industries in one afternoon, the trip looks worthwhile. If the search is narrowly local, the fair still helps because the Royse City Chamber of Commerce reaches business communities across Rockwall, Hunt and Collin counties.
The chamber’s involvement gives the event a direct Rockwall County link. Royse City Chamber partners can reportedly set up at the fair for free, while non-chamber participants can join for a $50 fee, a structure that should help smaller employers and recruiters from Royse City and surrounding communities get in front of more applicants. The chamber’s office is at 216 North Arch Street, Suite D, in Royse City, placing it squarely in the local business network this job fair is trying to serve.
