The Colorado State Fair, held each late August in Pueblo, is the largest fair in the state, drawing nearly 500,000 visitors annually. Spanning 11 days, it blends classic fair fun with Colorado’s agricultural heritage, featuring 4-H and FFA livestock shows, a renowned Junior Livestock Auction, rodeo events, demolition derbies, and free family entertainment. Unique to this fair are attractions like the Governor’s Plate food competition, a massive sand sculpture, and rotating exhibits in fine arts and agriculture. Set at a historic fairground and supported by a long-term master plan for growth, it offers a rich mix of tradition, innovation, and community celebration that showcases the heart of Colorado.
