Northern Gila County Fair Overview

The Northern Gila County Fair in Payson is a three-day September celebration in Arizona's Mountain Town at the base of the Mogollon Rim, serving the pine forest communities of the upper Tonto Basin.

Good to Know

Payson is at the foot of the Mogollon Rim — Arizona's dramatic escarpment divides the high plateau from the desert below, and the surrounding Tonto National Forest is outstanding.

Highlights

Expect livestock judging, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, and the mountain community spirit of the Rim Country's pine forest communities.
