About Gunnison County Fair
The Gunnison County Fair in Gunnison celebrates the coldest town in the lower 48 states — Gunnison routinely records the nation's lowest overnight temperatures in winter, and the county's ranching in the broad Gunnison River valley, Crested Butte's world-class skiing and wildflower displays, and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park define a county of dramatic natural character.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the greater Gunnison area and the surrounding ranching community.
Visitor Tips
The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park preserves one of America's most dramatic canyon experiences — sheer walls of dark Precambrian gneiss dropping 2,000 feet to the Gunnison River. Crested Butte's wildflower displays in July are the most spectacular in Colorado, and the town's ski area receives exceptional powder snow.
