Visitor Tips

Castle Rock's "Star" landmark on the butte above town is visible for miles and symbolizes the county's growth from rural ranching to suburban prosperity. Castlewood Canyon State Park and the Cherry Creek headwaters provide natural recreation corridors amidst the suburban development.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, major equestrian events, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a large, well-organized fair drawing from one of the Denver-Colorado Springs corridor's most prosperous and rapidly growing counties.

About Douglas County Fair

In Castle Rock, the Douglas County Fair celebrates one of America's fastest-growing counties — the "Agate Capitol of America" and growing Denver south suburban corridor contains some of Colorado's finest horse ranches and equestrian communities alongside the rapidly expanding suburban development between Denver and Colorado Springs. It began in 1892 and has stayed a fixture of Colorado agricultural life for more than a century.
