About Eastern Idaho State Fair

The Eastern Idaho State Fair in Blackfoot is Idaho's largest fair and the premier agricultural celebration of the upper Snake River Plain, held each September in a region that grows more potatoes than any other county in the United States. Blackfoot proudly calls itself the Potato Capital of the World, and the fair honors that legacy while delivering a full-scale state-fair experience with top-tier entertainment.

What to Expect

Visitors can expect large-scale livestock and open-class competitions, potato and crop exhibits, carnival midway, nationally touring grandstand concerts, rodeo, commercial vendors, and the full breadth of a major state fair spanning nine days.

Visitor Tips

Book grandstand concert tickets early — top-name acts sell out well in advance. The Idaho Potato Museum in downtown Blackfoot is a surprisingly entertaining free stop before or after your fair day.
