About Midland County Fair

The Midland County Fair in Midland is an October fair in the Permian Basin energy capital, celebrating the ranching and petroleum heritage of a city that has twice produced an American president and remains the financial nerve center of the world's most productive oil field.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local food vendors, and a community fair serving the energy industry workers and ranching families of the Midland Basin.

Visitor Tips

Midland is an oil boom town with presidential connections — the George W. Bush Childhood Home, the Presidential Museum at Midland College, the Midland Army Air Field Museum (a WWII training field), and the Petroleum Museum (one of the best in the world) make Midland far more interesting than its flat prairie suggests.
