The fair runs Friday to Monday over Labor Day weekend. The animals and exhibit halls fill the day, and the carnival lights up the evening.
Two stages, the livestock show ring and the carnival run all four days. This was the 2026 program.
Mountain Line runs free park-and-ride buses to the fair all weekend. You save the $5 parking fee and the drive out of Fort Tuthill at closing time.
These are the 2026 prices. Early-bird tickets were on sale online through July 31, and carnival wristbands were cheapest in July.
