About Churchill County Fair and Rodeo
The Churchill County Fair and Rodeo in Fallon is the great basin's premier traditional county fair, celebrating the agricultural heritage of the Lahontan Valley — one of Nevada's most productive farming regions, known for its exceptional Hearts of Gold cantaloupes and other produce grown on water rights from the Lahontan Reservoir. Fallon is Nevada's farming capital, and the fair reflects that proud identity.
What to Expect
PRCA rodeo competition, livestock shows, 4-H and FFA agricultural exhibits, produce competitions featuring the region's famous Hearts of Gold cantaloupes, carnival rides, food vendors, and local entertainment. The rodeo is a particularly strong draw in this ranching community.
Visitor Tips
Fallon is on US-50 about 60 miles east of Reno and Carson City. The Lahontan Valley is one of Nevada's surprising agricultural oases — the cantaloupes grown here are exceptionally sweet due to the high-desert climate. Churchill County also has the Naval Air Station Fallon, home of the Navy's Top Gun fighter weapons school.
