About Bi-County Fair
The McKinley County Fair in Gallup celebrates the heart of Indian Country — Gallup is surrounded by the Navajo Nation and Zuni Pueblo, and McKinley County's cattle ranching, coal mining, and Native American agricultural traditions come together at a fair in a county where Indigenous cultures define the landscape and community life.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, Native American craft exhibits, rodeo events, local food vendors with Navajo and New Mexican cuisine, and a fair drawing from Gallup's diverse Native and non-Native community.
Visitor Tips
Gallup is the "Indian Capital of the World" — the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial each August draws Native Americans from across North America for dance, art, and rodeo competitions. The Red Rock State Park amphitheater hosts major Native cultural events against dramatic sandstone cliffs.
