About Tri-State Fair

The Tri-State Fair in Amarillo is a ten-day September fair serving the agricultural communities of Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico, one of the largest fair events on the High Plains drawing visitors from across the tri-state Panhandle region. First held in 1923, it has been a Texas agricultural tradition for over a century.

What to Expect

Expect major grandstand entertainment, livestock shows, FFA and 4-H competitions, carnival rides, demolition derby, and a full fair midway serving the Panhandle's farming and ranching communities.

Visitor Tips

Amarillo sits on the Texas Panhandle at the crossroads of I-40 (Historic Route 66) and US-87 — Palo Duro Canyon State Park (the "Grand Canyon of Texas"), the Cadillac Ranch public art installation, and the Big Texan Steak Ranch are local landmarks.
