Fair Information
The 138th Fair is returning, and we are excited to welcome you back! This year, we will host the final two days of pari-mutuel horse racing on Saturday and Sunday. All traditional livestock shows will be featured once again. We invite you to participate in the Race Day Classic or the Open Cattle Show. Attendees can also enjoy a variety of agricultural displays and additional exhibits throughout the fairgrounds.
Join us for a weekend celebrating the charm of the Texas Hill Country and the warm hospitality of Gillespie County. These four days will be filled with activities for the entire family, including an exciting carnival and midway, classic fair food, livestock judging, agricultural and household exhibits, arts and crafts, a washer-pitching tournament, antique tractor displays, and live pari-mutuel horse racing.
We look forward to seeing you at the Fair!
Still-- The Oldest Continuous County Fair in Texas!
