About Ouray County Fair
The Ouray County Fair is perhaps Colorado's most scenically situated county fair, held in the tiny mountain town of Ouray — the "Switzerland of America" — nestled in a box canyon surrounded by 13,000-foot peaks. This small fair serves a county with one of Colorado's smallest populations but one of its most breathtaking landscapes.
What to Expect
Livestock competitions, 4-H exhibits, agricultural shows, and local entertainment celebrating the ranching and mining heritage of this spectacular mountain county. The intimate scale of the fair matches the tight-knit character of Ouray's community.
Visitor Tips
Ouray is on US-550 on the Million Dollar Highway, about 25 miles north of Silverton and 10 miles north of the Ouray hot springs. The town is famous for ice climbing in winter and Jeep trails in summer. A fair visit pairs perfectly with a soak at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool.
