About Clearwater County Fair
The Clearwater County Fair in Orofino follows the rhythm of the Clearwater River, a legendary steelhead and salmon stream that cuts through the forested mountains of north-central Idaho on its way to join the Snake. Orofino sits at the heart of a region where logging, fishing, and small-scale agriculture have sustained communities since the gold rush era.
What to Expect
Visitors can expect livestock and 4-H competitions, forestry and natural resource exhibits alongside traditional agricultural displays, carnival rides, and community entertainment reflecting the timber and fishing culture of the Clearwater Valley.
