About Coryell County Fair

The Coryell County Fair in Gatesville is a September fair in the Leon River valley of Central Texas, celebrating the cattle, grain, and ranching heritage of a county that is home to Fort Gates, one of the original chain of frontier forts built after the Civil War.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair in the rolling cedar and live oak hills of the Leon River watershed between Killeen and Waco.

Visitor Tips

Gatesville is the Coryell County seat — Mother Neff State Park (the first Texas state park), and the Stillhouse Hollow and Belton Lake reservoirs nearby make Coryell County worth exploring beyond the city.
