About San Juan County Fair
The San Juan County Fair in Silverton celebrates Colorado's most rugged and remote county — entirely above 9,000 feet elevation, with peaks reaching 14,000 feet and snowfall exceeding 300 inches annually, San Juan County's silver mining heritage and Silverton's remarkable Victorian townsite define a mountain community accessible only by mountain highway or the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
What to Expect
Expect a small mountain fair with community exhibits, mining heritage displays, local artisan vendors, and the authentic alpine spirit of one of America's most dramatically situated communities.
Visitor Tips
Silverton's historic National Historic Landmark district preserves one of Colorado's most intact Victorian silver mining townsites. The Million Dollar Highway (US-550) from Ouray through Red Mountain Pass to Silverton is one of America's most spectacular (and terrifying) mountain drives. Silverton Mountain ski resort offers extreme skiing in un-groomed terrain.
