Colorado State Fairgrounds

In 1869, approximately 2,000 people converged on what is now Pueblo for a horse exhibition; and from that meager beginning was born the Colorado State Fair.   The Fair continues to call Pueblo home, and in fact, has only cancelled once during its entire history. In 1917, during World War I, the Fairgrounds' horse stables and open space offered an ideal training facility for the Army National Guard.   Since then, the Colorado State Fair has developed into the largest summer event in the State and offers families a fun, educational summer vacation!
