A Closer Look

Preston's Franklin County Fair sits in Cache Valley's Idaho extension, a lush agricultural basin where dairy farming and dryland grain crops have supported close-knit communities since pioneer settlement in the 1860s. Preston is also famous as the filming location of the cult movie Napoleon Dynamite, giving the town a quirky pop-culture footnote alongside its agricultural traditions.

Fair Highlights

Visitors can expect livestock shows, 4-H project competitions, home arts and produce exhibits, and the warm community-fair atmosphere of a small Idaho valley town.

Planning Your Visit

Preston leans into its Napoleon Dynamite fame — look for local references around town, and check whether any themed events coincide with the fair during your visit.
