About White Pine County Fair

The White Pine County Fair in Ely celebrates a central Nevada county where copper mining shaped the community around the Nevada Northern Railway — Ely's Nevada Northern Railway Museum operates historic steam locomotives on original track, and the county's ranching, mining, and Great Basin wilderness define one of the most remote counties in the lower 48 states.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, rodeo events, and the community spirit of a remote eastern Nevada mining and ranching county where the annual fair brings together families from across a county larger than Connecticut.

Visitor Tips

Ely's Nevada Northern Railway Museum is one of America's finest railroad heritage sites — the original 1906 depot and roundhouse with working steam locomotives offer excursion rides through the Nevada desert. Great Basin National Park — containing Nevada's only glacier and ancient bristlecone pines — is just an hour south of Ely.
