About us
The Wyoming State Fair officially started in 1905 in Douglas, Wyoming. The fair has always been an event that has showcased the culture and heritage of Wyoming. The Wyoming State Fair has been a gathering point for generations of families, while providing a quality educational experience and entertainment for all who have attended. The Wyoming State Fair is a celebration of all things Wyoming and showcases our pride in our agriculture, education, youth and western lifestyle.
Our Value Pillars
Agriculture
Rooted in our state’s rich agricultural heritage, we proudly support and showcase the farming and ranching communities that sustain our economy and way of life. From livestock exhibits to crop displays, we honor the traditions of agriculture while educating the next generation on its importance.
Education
We are committed to learning, growth, and the future. We foster a spirit of curiosity and a deeper understanding of Wyoming’s vital industries through hands-on exhibits, interactive demonstrations, and agricultural education programs, such as Everyday Ag and Resources of Wyoming.
Youth
Empowering Wyoming’s young people is at the heart of everything we do. From 4-H and FFA competitions to youth-led initiatives, we provide a platform for the next generation to showcase their talents, develop leadership skills, and embrace Wyoming’s unique heritage.
Western Lifestyle
Embodying the spirit of the West, the fair is a celebration of Wyoming’s rugged charm and enduring values. From rodeo events to Western heritage displays, we keep the cowboy culture alive and thriving for visitors of all ages and backgrounds.
