The Colorado State Fair has been a cornerstone of Pueblo since 1872. It was founded to honor the agricultural and farming heritage of the Rocky Mountain State, providing an opportunity for locals to show their crops, livestock, and handcrafted goods. Today it has grown into a twelve-day celebration of music, competitions, food, and fun for all ages. Every year hundreds of thousands of visitors participate in activities such as rodeos, concerts on multiple outdoor stages, carnival rides, educational exhibits from various vendors around the state, and competitive judging categories in horticulture & agriculture, home economics, and art divisions. The Colorado State Fair provides an annual tradition of free entertainment for locals to come together; there is something for everyone!
