The Oldest Fairs in Utah

Salt Lake City's Utah State Fair traces its roots to 1856, four decades before Utah became a state. It is held each September at the state fairpark and centers on agricultural competitions, a carnival midway, and live entertainment.

The Washington County Fair in St. Dating to 1860, it ranks among Utah's oldest agricultural fairs. George is a nine-day April celebration in Utah's fastest-growing county, drawing visitors from the St. George and Hurricane communities in the warm red rock country.

The Davis County Fair in Farmington celebrates one of Utah's fastest-growing counties — Davis County between Salt Lake City and Ogden has grown dramatically as the Wasatch Front metro expands, and the county's agricultural heritage in the Great Salt Lake foothills is celebrated at a fair that also serves one of Utah's most active suburban communities. It began in 1906 and has stayed a fixture of Utah agricultural life for more than a century.
