About Mineral County Fair
The Mineral County Fair in Creede celebrates Colorado's most recently active silver mining community — "Holy Moses!" was shouted when Nicholas Creede discovered silver in 1889, and the canyon town of Creede with its remarkable Repertory Theatre still operating in a summer festival tradition, and the Rio Grande's headwaters gold-medal fishing, define Colorado's most remote and smallest county.
What to Expect
Expect a small mountain fair with community exhibits, 4-H competitions, local artisan vendors, and the authentic spirit of a silver mining canyon town that has reinvented itself as a summer arts destination.
Visitor Tips
Creede Repertory Theatre has operated since 1966 in the canyon town, making it one of Colorado's most beloved summer theatre festivals. The Creede Underground Mining Museum burrows into the cliff face. The Rio Grande's headwaters and the Wheeler Geologic Area's volcanic formations define a county of extraordinary natural character.
