Carter County Fair Overview

Held annually in Ekalaka, the Carter County Fair is a four-day August celebration in the most remote county seat in Montana, serving the cattle ranching communities of the cedar breaks and badlands of the far southeastern corner.

Good to Know

Ekalaka is the most remote county seat in Montana — the Medicine Rocks State Park, the remarkable Carter County Museum (with a T. rex), and Medicine Lake are extraordinary.

Highlights

Expect livestock judging, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, and the frontier community spirit of one of the most isolated communities in the contiguous United States.
