About Mora County Fair

The Mora County Fair in Mora celebrates a northern New Mexico mountain county where Hispanic sheep ranching, dryland farming, and the traditions of the old Land Grant communities define a culture that predates American statehood by centuries — the Mora Valley's acequia irrigation systems and the mountain village culture of the Sangre de Cristo foothills represent one of the most authentic expressions of New Mexico's Spanish colonial heritage.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, traditional New Mexican food vendors, and the community spirit of a northern New Mexico county where the old Hispanic ranching and farming traditions are more alive than anywhere else in the state.

Visitor Tips

Mora is a small mountain county seat in the Mora River valley. The county's land grant communities and acequia systems — communal irrigation ditches dating to the Spanish colonial era — are a living heritage of New Mexico's pre-American history, and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains provide dramatic scenery and elk hunting.
