About Montrose County Fairgrounds
The Montrose County Fair celebrates the agricultural heritage of Colorado's Uncompahgre Valley, where the fertile river bottomlands produce exceptional fruit and vegetable crops under the shadow of the San Juan Mountains. Montrose is the commercial hub of the southern western slope.
What to Expect
Livestock competitions, produce and agricultural exhibits featuring the Uncompahgre Valley's distinctive crops, 4-H and FFA exhibits, carnival rides, rodeo events, and entertainment. The fair reflects the proud farming tradition of one of western Colorado's most productive agricultural valleys.
Visitor Tips
