Goshen County Fair & Parade

Goshen County’s most anticipated traditions, bringing the community together year after year.

Youth exhibitors showing pigs during the Goshen County Fair livestock show in Torrington, Wyoming.

The Goshen County Fair brings together families, youth, businesses, ag producers, volunteers, and visitors for one of the community’s most loved traditions. From livestock shows and rodeo events to exhibits, food, vendors, and the annual fair parade, fair week is a time to celebrate the people, hard work, and hometown pride that make Goshen County special.

Whether you’re showing an animal, cheering from the stands, walking through the exhibit halls, or lining Main Street for the parade, the fair is about more than a week of events. It’s about community, agriculture, tradition, and supporting the next generation.
