A Fair (& Rodeo) of the Heart

“A Fair of the Heart,” the Jefferson County Fair & Rodeo, is affordable family fun with the Boulder River Carousel, live music, exhibits, food, vendors, acrobats, 4-H, animals, inflatables, and much more. The events are held in late August – for 2022, the 24th to 28th — at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds/Recreation Park one-half mile south of Boulder.  

Plenty of exciting action happens at the Jefferson County NRA Rodeos – Friday and Saturday at 5 p.m. Rodeo admission is $10 for adults, $5 for kids 12 and under, and free for kids 6 and under. 

Thursday’s in-county rodeo is a crowd favorite, and it’s free. Friday features a kids’ horse show and rodeo, kids’ parade, and the rodeo. Saturday events include four live bands, a rodeo parade, beef barbecue, baked goods auction, and real barn dance. Sunday’s stick horse rodeo, hunt in the hay, and puppet show finish off the weekend.
