For 120 years, the Wyoming State Fair has served as the ultimate gathering place for families, friends and communities across the Cowboy State. Held each August in Douglas, nestled at the heart of Wyoming, this time-honored event is more than just a fair. It’s a celebration of who Wyoming is: rooted in tradition, proud of its agricultural heritage and deeply connected by the Western way of life.
Each summer, thousands of fairgoers make their way to Converse County for five days of fun, flavor and festivities. But what truly sets the Wyoming State Fair apart is its ability to bring together locals and visitors alike for an experience that’s uniquely Wyoming.
A Living Legacy of Agriculture and Community
Since 1905, the Wyoming State Fair has served as a stage for the industries that power the Cowboy State. Agriculture, natural resources and tourism are brought to life through interactive exhibits, educational programming and real-world demonstrations that let guests see, touch and learn about the story of Wyoming.
Programs like Everyday Ag and Resources of Wyoming highlight the state’s economic drivers through immersive, hands-on activities—from audio barn tours and ag scavenger hunts to kid-friendly exhibits about coal, wind, oil, and more. It’s an experience that sparks curiosity and builds appreciation for the land and livelihoods that define Wyoming.
Entertainment with a Western Twist
Of course, it wouldn’t be fair without the fun. The Wyoming State Fair delivers with PRCA rodeos, carnival rides, live music from Wyoming and regional artists, and a midway full of delicious fair food (including the wildly popular Fair Food Flights program). There's something for everyone, whether you're dancing under the stars, cheering in the grandstands, or strolling the midway.
A Destination Worth the Drive
Conveniently located just off I-25, Douglas offers an authentic slice of small-town Wyoming. Douglas is the perfect home base to explore nearby outdoor gems like Ayers Natural Bridge, Fort Fetterman, and Laramie Peak, making it easy to turn your fair trip into a summer getaway.
