About Owyhee County Fair
The Owyhee County Fair in Murphy celebrates one of Idaho's most remote and largest counties — the Owyhee Plateau's sagebrush canyonlands, the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area (the highest density of nesting birds of prey in North America), and the Silver City ghost town's remarkably preserved Victorian buildings define a county of extraordinary natural and historical richness.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the remote ranching communities scattered across Idaho's most rugged canyon country.
Visitor Tips
Murphy is the tiny county seat of Owyhee County, accessible by a remote highway through sagebrush hills. Silver City — one of the best-preserved Idaho ghost towns — sits at 6,200 feet in the Owyhee Mountains. The Snake River Birds of Prey NCA's peregrine falcons, prairie falcons, and golden eagles are spectacular.
