Las Vegas, NM – The San Miguel/Mora County Fair will take place August 6–9, 2025, at the San Miguel County Fairgrounds in Las Vegas, New Mexico (26 Rodeo Grounds Rd). The four-day, family-friendly event will feature livestock shows, youth competitions, indoor exhibits, games, vendors, food booths and trucks, and live country music. Indoor exhibits include baking, sewing, photography, art, jellies, and more—highlighting the creativity, skills and local goods of community members of all ages.

The fair is organized by the San Miguel/Mora County Fair Association with support from local volunteers, 4-H leaders, sponsors, and community members who help with planning and running the event, along with support from both city and county governments. This year, the focus is on making the fair more accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Expanding the event provides more opportunities for youth to showcase their skills and offers affordable entertainment for families. It also brings visitors to Las Vegas, San Miguel and Mora, supporting local businesses.

A new feature this year is the County Fair Music Fest, created to bring the community together and draw more people to the fair. Music is a great way to unite everyone, and the fest also serves to benefit youth programs and future fairs. The feature includes two nights of live outdoor country music concerts featuring local and national artists. All concerts are family-friendly, alcohol-free, and take place rain or shine. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Food and drinks will be available from vendors.
