About La Plata County Fairgrounds

La Plata County Fairgrounds is a multi-purpose fairgrounds and rodeo venue located at 2500 Main Avenue in Durango, Colorado. Owned and operated by La Plata County, the grounds serve as a community event hub in southwest Colorado’s Four Corners region. The site is especially recognizable for its tawny local sandstone, which forms the walls, bandstand support, and entry gateway, with a stone wall stretching roughly three blocks along the property.

The fairgrounds are best known as the home of the annual La Plata County Fair, a regional summer tradition featuring livestock competitions, exhibits, carnival rides, food vendors, and entertainment. The venue also hosts rodeo and Western-themed shows, community gatherings, and seasonal ticketed attractions, including the True Western Roundup, with seasonal dates spanning June through September 2026.

Set alongside the Animas River and adjacent to the River Trail bicycle path, La Plata County Fairgrounds connects fair, rodeo, and community-event atmosphere with easy access to downtown Durango, restaurants, shopping, and the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad area.
