Fair Highlights
Typical offerings include livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, grain exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the greater Montevideo area.
Planning Your Visit
Montevideo sits at the confluence of the Chippewa and Minnesota rivers. The city is named after Montevideo, Uruguay by a postmaster who had served in the Mexican-American War. Lac qui Parle State Park and the wildlife area provide recreation.
A Closer Look
In Montevideo, the Chippewa County Fair celebrates a southwest Minnesota county on the Minnesota River where corn and soybean farming and the Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area define a community named after the Uruguayan capital by a homesick settler.
