About Denver County Fair

The Denver County Fair celebrates Colorado's state capital and largest city — Denver is the Mile High City where the Rocky Mountain Front rises dramatically from the Great Plains, and the county's urban agriculture movement, rooftop farms, community gardens, and thriving farm-to-table food culture connect the city to the rich agricultural heritage of the surrounding Colorado plains and mountains. Launched in 2011, the fair continues to expand its programming and attendance.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H urban agriculture competitions, a world-class selection of Colorado artisan food vendors, carnival rides, live entertainment, and a vibrant urban county fair drawing from one of the fastest-growing cities in the American West.

Visitor Tips

Denver's Union Station, the Denver Art Museum's Frederic C. Hamilton Building, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and the Colorado State Capitol define a city of extraordinary cultural achievement. The Confluence Park where Cherry Creek meets the South Platte River and the Denver Botanic Gardens reflect a city investing in urban natural spaces.
