About Lyon County Fair and Rodeo
Yerington's Lyon County Fair and Rodeo is a small but proud celebration of the agricultural heritage of the Mason Valley, one of Nevada's most productive farming areas known for its onions, garlic, and alfalfa. Yerington is the seat of Lyon County and a quintessential Nevada small town that holds fast to its ranching and farming identity.
What to Expect
Livestock competitions, 4-H and FFA exhibits, PRCA rodeo events, agricultural produce competitions, food vendors, and local community entertainment. The fair reflects the working agricultural character of Nevada's Mason Valley communities.
Visitor Tips
Yerington is about 60 miles southeast of Reno via US-95A or US-395, in the Walker River valley. The surrounding Mason Valley is less-visited by tourists but offers great Nevada scenery and the historic copper-mining ghost town of Weed Heights nearby. A genuinely off-the-beaten-path Nevada experience.
