About Golden Valley County Fair

The Golden Valley County Fair in Ryegate celebrates one of Montana's smallest and most remote counties — a high plains county in central Montana where wheat farming and cattle ranching sustain a tiny community along Musselshell River drainage, and where the annual fair is one of the few events that brings the scattered rural population together.

What to Expect

Expect a very small fair with livestock exhibits, 4-H competitions, wheat exhibits, and the tight-knit community spirit of a central Montana high plains county.

Visitor Tips

Ryegate sits along US-12 in central Montana. The surrounding Musselshell River country offers fishing, hunting, and a glimpse of Montana agricultural life far removed from tourist corridors. The county's proximity to the Bull Mountains provides upland bird hunting habitat.
