About San Miguel County Fair

The San Miguel County Fair in Telluride celebrates the "Box Canyon" music festival capital of the mountains — Telluride's spectacular box canyon setting, world-class ski resort, free summer music festivals (Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Telluride Film Festival), and the surrounding San Juan Mountain cattle ranching heritage define a Colorado mountain county of extraordinary cultural and natural richness.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local artisan food vendors, live music, and a fair drawing from both the Telluride resort community and the surrounding Uncompahgre Plateau ranching families.

Visitor Tips

Telluride's free gondola connecting the historic town to the Mountain Village ski resort is North America's only free public transit gondola. The Telluride Bluegrass Festival (June) is one of America's finest acoustic music celebrations. Bridal Veil Falls — Colorado's highest free-falling waterfall — drops 365 feet at the head of the box canyon.
