Denver County Fair

FRIDAY-SUNDAY.

The Denver County fair combines the staples of a traditional fair with all the weird culture unique to Denver. Founded in 2011, the fair includes more than 12 pavilions, six stages for live music and talent, a ukulele competition, food contests and more. The fair will also feature a first-ever Denver County Fair Beer, a Wine Fest, and samples of craft brews from more than 30 local breweries. An Animal Pavilion will have a petting zoo, chickens, rabbits, reptiles, and rides on ponies and camels. Fill your stomach with local favorites and exotic treats you can only find at the fairgrounds.
