The Big Ski Country State Fair will be held at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds July 20-24. The fair is open daily from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., but closes at 6:00 p.m. on the last day of the fair.
“The fair is an integral part of what Gallatin County has to offer its residents,” said Tavnia Dykstra, a member of the Gallatin County Fair Board. “It captures the small-town feel that Bozeman has always been known for.”
In addition to the usual carnival excitement of prize pigs, corn dogs and rides, the fair features a variety of shows including exotic reptiles, dogs, magic, high jumpers, monster trucks and an Elvis impersonator.

This year the fair will host concerts by T.I., Russell Dickerson and Brantley Gilbert. Admission to the fair is included in the purchase of concert tickets. Local bands such as Bluebelli Junction and Groove Walk will perform nightly at the fair.
People can also sign up to train on the American Ninja Warrior course or drive their trucks or quads through the mud. Kids can take part in a “barn fight” to compete in catching chickens or take on a sheepdog in a “must bustin'” event.
For trade fair visitors who need a break from the expected heat, the cattle stable is open on all days of the fair. However, chicken and goose lovers might be disappointed as 4-H has canceled all poultry shows due to an unfortunate outbreak of bird flu.

Dkistra said profits from the fair keep the Gallatin County Fairgrounds open year-round and last year’s fair was the most profitable it’s ever had.
“But that’s not all the fair does for Gallatin County,” he said. “The joy we bring to the community by organizing the fair replaces money.” Let’s all come together as a community and celebrate five days.”

For many New Mexicans, a visit to the New Mexico State Fair at EXPO New Mexico in the heart of Albuquerque is a must. Tradition Cute and curious animals, distinctive fair food and exciting fairground rides make for a fun day at the fair. I recently went to have fun. Here is a summary of everything I experienced.
Out At The Fair
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been going to the state festival with my family. Regardless of the other delicious foods we eat throughout the day, we always started by making fresh mini donuts. As easy as it is, nothing beats the delicious combination of freshly fried batter coated in cinnamon sugar. This year I discovered that the only thing better than donuts is green chilli curd. You can hardly go wrong with fries
And green chillies, but these were out of this world. I had a hard time not inhaling them all at once. I’ve also tried the corn in the cup and that’s it. The corn is served with corn dressing and hot shredded Cheetos. I can’t think of anything nicer. The only special drink I enjoyed was the New Mexico State Fair’s signature cocktail, Strawberry Lemonade with New Mexico Vodka. Tastes like summer and is the perfect way to cool down after a long day in the sun.
One of my family’s traditions is going to the zoo. Bok Car Lawn’s petting zoo has just about every farm animal you could wish for. Buy an ice cream cone to give the goats, sheep and llamas an extra reward. Goats like to eat right out of your hand and will sometimes climb on top of each other to get their food. It’s a lot of fun, especially when the little kids are amazed at how big pigs get and how soft a llama can be.

I also enjoy visiting the Natural Resources Building where you can meet the professionals who manage New Mexico’s public lands and learn about outdoor work career paths. I liked seeing it best on loan from the American International Rattlesnake Museum. There are also plenty of native fish to see. I saw part of the Sea Lion Splash Show and was amazed at what these animals are trained to do. The highlight of the performance was painting a sea lion with the help of a young volunteer from the audience. Of course, the fair also offers the opportunity to see animals at cattle shows, 4-H and FFA auctions, and PRCA night rodeos.
There’s a lot of art to explore at the State Fair, and a good place to start is at the Hispanic Arts Building. Entering is an explosion of color. It’s amazing to see the creativity of the artists.
My favorites were several versions of the Zozobra and a beautifully crafted tin replica of the New Mexico State Fair Ferris wheel. I also like going to Indian Village and Villa Hispana. Indian Village was pretty quiet earlier in the day, but there were still plenty of people buying Pueblo Meat Pie, the winner of this year’s Unique Food Contest. In the Villa Hispana Papppicado adorns the corridors. It’s a very pleasant atmosphere to listen to live music. I was able to enjoy Daniel Rivera’s performance, it was the perfect way to unwind after a few hours in the sun.

No folk festival would be complete without an intermediate round and some fun. The Ferris wheel rises into the sky and can be seen from the field. There are roller coasters, swings and other fun and exciting rides. If, like me, you’re not the type of person who drives the most, take a ride on the Skyride. This cable car rises above Main Street and offers riders stunning views of the State Fair and Albuquerque. At least I have to go to the carnival game. Unfortunately, my basketball skills weren’t up to par and I got nothing.
A great place to shop for souvenirs is Manuel Lujan Jr. It’s one building Everything from food, clothing, jewelry and fine wines, the variety is amazing. Take the time to stop by MindWorks! as well as an interactive exhibit featuring giant classic games like Operation and Chess. The bubble arena is fun for both children and adults. There was Smokey Bear and Firefighters’ Day on Main Street. Fire trucks and vehicles lined the entire street and people could talk to members of the Forest Service and take pictures with Smokey! The State Fair has a different theme on Main Street each day. Check the schedule to see what’s coming next.

Everything You Need To Know About The 2018 New Mexico State Fair
Originally called the Territorial Fair, it became the State Fair in 1911 in anticipation of New Mexico’s imminent statehood.
The original fairgrounds, also known as Traction Park, was located southwest of Old Town Plaza and was promoted by the Albuquerque Streetcar Company as a year-round destination to encourage riders on their line.
In 1917 the fair was canceled and replaced by a “great patriotic demonstration” marking a direct US entry into World War I.

The fair was reestablished in 1938 at its location on Central Avenue in the International District. The new fairgrounds were built in 1936-38 with funds from the Works Progress Administration through the efforts of Governor Clyde Tingley.
