About Humboldt County Fair
The Humboldt County Fair in Winnemucca celebrates a northern Nevada county where cattle ranching, gold mining, and the Basque immigrant heritage define a community along the Humboldt River — Winnemucca is famous for its Basque restaurants, rodeos, and as a crossroads on I-80 between Salt Lake City and Reno.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, Basque cultural exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair drawing from the Winnemucca community and the county's ranching families.
Visitor Tips
Winnemucca's Basque heritage is celebrated at several authentic Basque restaurants serving family-style dinners. The Winnemucca Convention Center hosts the National Basque Festival, and the Santa Rosa Range's Humboldt National Forest provides hiking and camping east of town.
