About Lincoln County Fair

The Lincoln County Fair in Pioche celebrates a southeastern Nevada county where the silver mining town of Pioche — once called "the wickedest city in the West" — and the remote valleys of the Basin and Range support cattle ranching and a small community in one of Nevada's most historically colorful and geographically isolated counties.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, and the small-county community spirit of a remote southeastern Nevada ranching county where the annual fair is one of the year's most important community events.

Visitor Tips

Pioche's 1872 Lincoln County Courthouse — the "Million Dollar Courthouse" that cost far more than planned — and the historic Boot Hill cemetery reflect the county's wild mining heritage. Cathedral Gorge State Park's dramatic eroded clay formations are one of Nevada's most striking geological attractions.
