About Seward County Fair

The Seward County Fair in Liberal celebrates southwest Kansas' Panhandle approach country where the Cimarron River and sprawling feedlots define a county famous for its annual Pancake Race (a competition held simultaneously with a race in Olney, England since 1950) and for the massive agricultural operations that make southwest Kansas one of the nation's most productive beef and wheat regions.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, feedlot and agricultural exhibits, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors, rodeo events, and a fair celebrating the industrial-scale agriculture of southwest Kansas.

Visitor Tips

Liberal's Annual Pancake Race on Shrove Tuesday is one of Kansas's most beloved quirky traditions — women race while flipping pancakes in competition with counterparts in Olney, England. The Mid-America Air Museum preserves an extraordinary collection of military aircraft in the open air.
