From July 26 to August 10, 2025, the town of Kremmling, Colorado becomes a vibrant celebration of history, heritage, and hometown pride as it hosts the 109th Middle Park Fair & Rodeo.

With rodeo thrills, agricultural showcases, local food, carnival energy, and events for every age, this two-week celebration is more than just a fair—it’s a gathering place for families, friends, and future champions.
Over a Century of Community and Culture
The Middle Park Fair & Rodeo isn’t just an event. It’s a living tradition, rooted in the values that shaped the American West: agriculture, hard work, self-reliance, and celebration of community spirit. For over a century, ranchers, students, volunteers, and spectators have come together to share their skills, showcase their livestock, and cheer for the next generation of rodeo riders and 4-H youth.
And in 2025, the tradition continues with an even bigger lineup of events, entertainment, and hands-on experiences that reflect the vibrant heart of rural Colorado.
A Full Schedule of Events
There’s no shortage of activity during the fair’s packed calendar. Whether you’re a rodeo fan, a livestock judge, a pie-baking champion, or just along for the funnel cake and Ferris wheel, you’ll find something to love.
Here’s a taste of what to expect:
- Rodeo events featuring bull riding, barrel racing, roping competitions, and family-friendly rodeo games
- 4-H livestock shows and sales, where youth competitors present their hard-earned projects in hopes of earning ribbons and recognition
- Horse shows and gymkhanas, showcasing horsemanship and agility across multiple disciplines

Something for Everyone

This is an event where first-timers feel like regulars, and regulars feel like family.
There are opportunities to volunteer, participate in community booths, enter contests, or simply be part of the cheering crowd. Whether you’re visiting for the day or the entire stretch, you’ll find moments that feel both familiar and brand new.
