About Washoe County Fair

The Washoe County Fair in Reno celebrates Nevada's second-largest city and the "Biggest Little City in the World" — Washoe County's ranching heritage in the Truckee Meadows, the Sierra Nevada's eastern slope, and Lake Tahoe's Nevada shore come together with Reno's gaming, university, and tech economy at a fair serving one of Nevada's most diverse and rapidly growing counties.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors, and a well-organized fair drawing from the greater Reno-Sparks metro area.

Visitor Tips

Reno's National Automobile Museum, the Nevada Museum of Art, and the annual Burning Man festival (in neighboring Pershing County) reflect a city that has evolved well beyond its gambling origins. Lake Tahoe's Nevada shore, Mt. Rose ski resort, and the Virginia City heritage corridor are major regional draws.
