About Washington County Fair
The Washington County Fair in Akron celebrates the "Beehive of Colorado" — Washington County's dryland wheat farming, milo, and cattle ranching on the rolling Colorado High Plains define an agricultural county where the Republican River's headwaters provide limited irrigation and the county's farming families maintain strong 4-H and agricultural traditions.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, wheat and milo exhibits, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a northeastern Colorado agricultural fair.
Visitor Tips
Akron sits along US-34 in the High Plains of northeastern Colorado. The Washington County area is part of the dryland wheat farming belt that extends from Nebraska through eastern Colorado. The county's Republican River tributaries provide limited water for livestock and occasional irrigation.
