Welcome
Welcome to the 118th Annual El Paso County Fair!
The Fair has always been filled with memories. This year, we wanted to inspire you to remember your experiences at the County Fair and provide an opportunity to make new memories.
We are honored to host the El Paso County Fair and welcome you to Calhan, Colorado, where you and your family can have the opportunity to explore, engage, and celebrate in one of our treasured County Parks –The El Paso County Fair & Event Center.
The Fair & Event Center is a year-round venue for various programs, activities, and events, from auto races to equestrian events, tradeshows, and community meetings. The annual El Paso County Fair is the most significant event at the Fair & Event Center, celebrating the County’s rich western and agricultural heritage.
We know that family-friendly adventures are hard to come by, and experiences at less than $100 for a family of four are rare. So providing an opportunity for the community to make memories without breaking the budget has been one of our goals.
The history of the El Paso County Fair is humble, beginning as a potato harvest celebration, but our future is bright and exciting! We hope to see you all this year!
Join us July 15 - 22 in Calhan, Colorado, at the 2023 El Paso County Fair for A Summer to Remember!
