What to Know

Hugo is home to the Lincoln County Free Fair & Rodeo, which is a no-admission community fair on Colorado's central-eastern plains, where cattle ranching and dryland farming define the landscape. Hugo is a quiet county seat on US-40 and US-287, and the free fair tradition reflects the community spirit of this rural Colorado county.

On the Midway

Livestock competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, PRCA rodeo events, food vendors, and local entertainment. The free admission makes this one of the most welcoming county fairs on the Colorado plains.

Before You Go

Hugo is at the intersection of US-40 and US-287 in central-eastern Colorado, about 100 miles southeast of Denver. The surrounding plains are excellent for wildlife watching — particularly pronghorn, which are common throughout Lincoln County. Check Lincoln County's website for exact fair dates.
