About Las Animas County Fair
The Las Animas County Fair in Trinidad celebrates the coal mining and cattle ranching county at the foot of Raton Pass — Trinidad's Fisher's Peak, the Santa Fe Trail's Trinchera crossing, and the coal mining heritage of the Ludlow-adjacent communities (the Las Animas county line runs near Ludlow) define a southern Colorado border community with deep Hispanic, Native American, and immigrant mining heritage.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, carnival rides, and a fair drawing from the greater Trinidad area and the surrounding Purgatoire River ranching community.
Visitor Tips
Trinidad's A.R. Mitchell Museum of Western Art houses an exceptional collection of Western Americana art. The Santa Fe Trail Museum preserves the route that connected Missouri to New Mexico. The Ludlow Massacre site is just north of the county in Huerfano County, but the coal mining heritage pervades Las Animas County communities.
