137th Gillespie County Fair Thursday - Sunday; August 21-24

Fair Information

 The 137th Fair is back to normal! This year we will host the last two days of pari-mutuel horse racing, on Saturday and Sunday. We will have all of our livestock shows. Please look to join the Race Day Classic or the Open Cattle Show. There will be some Agricultural exhibits, and some other exhibits to be viewed. 


  Join us for a weekend of Texas Hill Country and Gillespie County hospitality that the whole family will enjoy. It’s four big days filled with great events–exciting carnival and midway, your favorite fair food, livestock judging, agricultural and household exhibits, arts and crafts, washer pitching tournament, antique tractor shows, and live pari-mutuel horse racing!


Still--  The Oldest Continuous County Fair in Texas!
