La Paz County Fair Scheduled March 12 to 14, 2026 in Parker

La Paz County will return to the La Paz County Fairgrounds in Parker for a three-day La Paz County Fair, March 12-14, 2026. The event is organized by the La Paz County Fair Association and is billed as an annual celebration of agriculture, livestock and community life that draws regional visitors and a supply chain of vendors and entertainers.

The fair will be held at the La Paz County Fairgrounds, 21600 Hillside Drive, Parker, AZ 85344. For general questions and reservations organizers list phone +1 928-669-8100. Vendor communications accompanying the fair schedule instruct applicants to submit paperwork and insurance electronically: "Submit your completed application and insurance information to lapazcountyfair@gmail.com." Tradeshowz also lists an official fair website and an organizer contact email that differs from the vendor letter, so vendors and press should confirm the preferred address before submitting materials.

Programming aims to mix traditional fair draws with family entertainment. FestivalNet’s event listing summarizes the lineup this way: "March 12-14, 2026. Country Pride, Country Wide !" The listing reports livestock shows and agricultural exhibits consistent with the event’s Agriculture & Livestock category, adds "Other Activities: carnival," and describes entertainment as "Entertainment: 1 stage - R,L Entertainment: BL CR CY RK Variety." FestivalNet estimates the event scale at "Attendance: 9,000" with "# of Exhibitors: 150" and "# Food Booths: 13," and lists admission at "Admission: $7 - $25." FestivalNet notes that deadlines for art, craft, music and food vendors are "until full."

Vendors should note specific insurance and administrative requirements set by the fair. An official vendor letter to prospective sellers states, "Along with your booth rental fee, we are required to have all vendors provide the Fair with a Certificate of Insurance that covers your operation at the booth with the policy liability limit of $1,000,000." The letter gives precise Certificate Holder wording required for the COI: "La Paz County Fair Association, Inc. Board Members and La Paz County, 21600 Hillside Dr, P.O. Box 1023, Parker, Az. 85344." The vendor packet lists application types including Commercial Vendor Application; Food Vendor Application; Local Info Vendor Application; Educational Vendor Application; Amusement Vendor Application. The vendor letter emphasizes community ties: "Vendors are a part of what makes the La Paz County Fair a great and fun experience for all who attend, we look forward to having you join us!" For clarifications the letter advises, "If you have any questions, please reach out to us at (928) 669-8100 or @ lapazcountyfair@gmail.com."

Public health and equity considerations are central for a gathering of this size. A crowd in the thousands increases demand on local emergency medical services, sanitation, and food-safety inspections; the municipal records consulted do not currently list daily hours, gate logistics or specific health protocols. Organizers and public-health partners should confirm handwashing and food-safety oversight for 13 reported food booths, accessibility services at the fairgrounds and affordability options for low-income families given the reported admission range. Residents relying on local clinics or ambulance services should note the likely surge in visitors and plan non-urgent care needs accordingly.

What happens next for readers: vendors who plan to apply should prepare a Certificate of Insurance with the exact certificate-holder language above and submit applications promptly, since FestivalNet lists participation windows as "until full." All attendees and community organizations should check with the La Paz County Fair Association by phone at +1 928-669-8100 and confirm current ticketing, hours, entertainment lineup and any public-health measures before the fair opens. The fair promises economic activity and community connection for Parker and surrounding river towns, but its benefits depend on clear communication about safety, accessibility and fair costs.
