About Power County Fair

The Power County Fair in American Falls celebrates a Snake River Plain county where the American Falls Reservoir — one of the largest reservoirs in the Bureau of Reclamation's Snake River irrigation system — flooded the original American Falls townsite in 1927, and today the county's potato, grain, and dairy farms sustained by Snake River irrigation define a productive agricultural county.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, potato and grain exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the American Falls community and the surrounding Snake River Plain farming families.

Visitor Tips

American Falls Reservoir provides water recreation and supports an important migratory bird staging area. The original American Falls townsite is submerged beneath the reservoir — locals joke about the "underwater town." The Snake River Plain's volcanic basalt underlies the county's productive irrigated farmland.
