About Socorro County Fair
The Socorro County Fair in Socorro celebrates a Rio Grande valley county where New Mexico Tech (Institute of Mining and Technology), the Very Large Array radio telescope array, and the vast Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge define a community of scientists, ranchers, and birders in the high Chihuahuan Desert.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food vendors, rodeo events, and a fair serving the diverse Socorro community of students, researchers, and ranching families.
Visitor Tips
Socorro's New Mexico Tech campus produces mining and engineering graduates. The Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope — a National Historic Landmark — is the world's most powerful radio telescope complex. The Bosque del Apache's sandhill crane and snow goose migration in November is one of the Southwest's great natural spectacles.
