The Arapahoe County Fair, which has been an annual celebration since 1906, is a beloved community tradition that showcases the County’s agricultural and Western heritage through 4-H programming, traditional agricultural and educational activities, and tons of entertainment. It’s an incredible value for families looking for a full day of laughter and good wholesome fun. 

At $20 per ticket (parking is now FREE!), it’s the best deal in town for a safe, family-friendly outing this summer. Included in the admission price is event parking, unlimited carnival rides, two CPRA rodeos, fireworks (weather and fire restrictions permitting), main stage concerts, tractor pulls, Dock Dogs, mutton bustin’, public competitions, a petting farm, 4-H livestock shows, the Kids’ Corral (twice the size of last year’s) with new attractions like Ninja Nation, homestead take-and-make crafts, and numerous other activities. Food, beverages and vendors will be abundant throughout the Fairgrounds. 

In addition, our craft brew festival, Pours on the Plains, is back by popular demand and will be held on Friday evening, July 29. This separate ticketed event costs $25 per person and will feature 14+ Colorado breweries and is guaranteed to be a hoppin’ good time.
