La Paz County Fair returns to Parker fairgrounds March 12-14, 2026

The La Paz County Fair will bring agricultural exhibits, competitions, food vendors, entertainment and family activities to the La Paz County Fairgrounds in Parker March 12–14, 2026. The three-day event at 21600 Hillside Dr is organized by the La Paz County Fair Association and is a long-standing occasion for local producers, small businesses and families to gather, sell, compete and celebrate community life.

For La Paz County residents, the fair is more than a weekend of rides and funnel cakes. Agricultural displays and competitions provide a marketplace and public showcase for local growers and artisans, while vendor booths and performers offer income opportunities for small enterprises from Parker and surrounding towns. Those economic benefits matter to a county where seasonal events help sustain year-round livelihoods and community networks.

Practical details matter for attendance. Organizers have suggested gate hours and admission guidance, but those details, plus final vendor lists and ticketing, can change. Attendees are advised to confirm final schedules, vendor participation and ticketing with the La Paz County Fair Association before planning travel. Checking ahead can reduce surprises for families, seniors and residents with limited transportation options.

Public health and safety considerations are central to a community event of this size. Food vendors and exhibit operators will need to manage food safety, sanitation and crowding to protect visitors. Residents who are immunocompromised, have food allergies or rely on accessible facilities should verify onsite accommodations and any public health protocols in advance. If you are feeling ill, organizers and health officials advise staying home to limit spread of respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses during large gatherings.

Accessibility and affordability are equity issues that shape who benefits from events like the county fair. Admission costs, gate hours and site layout determine whether older adults, people with disabilities and families with constrained budgets can participate. Residents without reliable transportation will need clear information about parking, drop-off points and whether nearby shuttle or community transport options are available. Confirming these details early helps ensure that the fair is welcoming to all parts of the county.

The La Paz County Fair remains an important seasonal anchor for community life and local commerce. As March approaches, residents should verify updated schedules and ticketing with the La Paz County Fair Association, plan for health and accessibility needs, and consider how the event can support local vendors and agricultural producers. The choices organizers and attendees make around safety, access and affordability will shape who can share in the fair’s benefits.
