The Ridin’ Rockin’ and Livestockin’ Broadwater County Fair is gearing up to bring excitement, tradition, and family fun back to Townsend.
Community members and visitors alike are invited to enjoy a celebration of local agriculture, rodeo action, and live entertainment. Join us August 6th-9th, 2026!
Now is the time to start thinking about and working on your Open Class entries for this year. Do you happen to grow gorgeous flowers? Do you like to write short stories? Have a beautiful house plant? Do you have a secret family recipe for bread, cookies or jelly? Do you dabble with oil paints? Take stunning photographs? Raise your own livestock? Did you end up taking up a hobby of embroidery, knitting or quilting?
Then guess what! You are well on your way to making an entry into the Broadwater County Fair! The Open Class Departments are: Home Arts, Photography & Literature, Fine Arts, Painting & Artwork, Home Crafts, Culinary Arts, Horticulture, Agronomy and Livestock. And each of these departments has many different classes to enter your projects! The opportunities are endless!
Copies of the Fair Book will be out by May 8th. These will be available in the Fair Office (416 Broadway St, Townsend), at a few businesses around town and on the fairgrounds website (https://www.townsendfairgrounds.com).
We are gearing up for a great event and hope to see you all there.
Fairgoers can look forward to rodeo events, livestock shows featuring local 4-H and FFA youth, live music, food vendors, and activities for all ages. The fair highlights the hard work of local ranching families while offering plenty of entertainment for the whole community.
The Broadwater County Fair Board encourages everyone to come out, support local youth, and enjoy a weekend full of rodeo thrills, great food, and hometown fun.
Stay tuned for event schedules and additional details as the fair approaches.
