Fair Highlights
Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair in the oil and ranching country of West Central Texas.
Planning Your Visit
Big Spring sits at the edge of the Permian Basin near Colorado City — the Big Spring State Park mesa, the Hangar 25 Air Museum, and the Permian Basin oil fields offer a distinctly West Texas experience.
A Closer Look
Held each August in Big Spring, Howard County Fair celebrates the ranching and oil heritage of a county at the gateway to the Permian Basin's energy fields.
