About El Paso County Fair
The El Paso County Fair in Calhan is a surprising discovery for visitors who associate El Paso County only with Colorado Springs — the fair is held on the sweeping eastern plains of the county, far from the city, in the agricultural community of Calhan. El Paso County is Colorado's most populous county, and the fair draws from both rural farming communities and Colorado Springs suburbs.
What to Expect
Livestock competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, rodeo events, food vendors, entertainment, and community exhibits reflecting the diversity of Colorado's most populous county. The eastern plains setting provides a dramatic contrast to the Pikes Peak backdrop visible to the west.
Visitor Tips
Calhan is on Hwy 24 in eastern El Paso County, about 35 miles east of Colorado Springs. The drive across the eastern plains with Pikes Peak visible to the west is beautiful. Colorado Springs offers extensive dining, lodging, and attractions including the Garden of the Gods and the Air Force Academy.
