Nevada State Fair

About Nevada State Fair

The Nevada State Fair in Carson City is the official state fair of Nevada, held each June at Mills Park in the state capital. Dating to 1874, it is one of Nevada's oldest and most enduring agricultural fair traditions. This intimate, free-admission fair celebrates Nevada's agricultural heritage and community culture in the shadow of the Sierra Nevada, offering a distinctive small-scale state fair experience quite unlike the massive fairs of other western states.

What to Expect

Carnival rides, food vendors, live entertainment, agricultural exhibits, commercial booths, and community programming. The free admission policy reflects the fair's community-centered mission and makes it an accessible outing for Nevada families from across the state capital region.

Visitor Tips

Located at Mills Park, 1111 E. William Street in Carson City. The fair's free admission is a genuine rarity among state fairs. Carson City is Nevada's compact capital city, with the Nevada State Museum and the Kit Carson Trail walking tour of historic homes worth combining with a fair visit. June evenings at 4,700 feet elevation are cool and pleasant.
