Welcome
Welcome to the 119th Annual El Paso County Fair!
What started as an annual potato harvest is an epic tradition celebrating our county's rich western and agricultural heritage.
We are honored to host the El Paso County Fair and welcome you to Calhan, Colorado. We hope you and your family are ready for an epic experience.
The Fair and Event Center is a year-round venue for various programs, activities, and events, from auto races to equestrian events, trade shows, community meetings, and more. The annual El Paso County Fair is the most significant event at the Fair & Event Center.
We know affordable family adventures are hard to come by, so it has been one of our goals to provide the community with opportunities to make memories without breaking the bank.
The El Paso County Fair strives to provide something epic for every member of the family, and we hope to see you all this year!
