Jefferson County Fair Board sets 2026 fair dates for July 22–25
Summary
After discussing moving to a five‑day model and scheduling impacts for vendors and 4‑H/FFA, the board voted to set the 2026 Jefferson County Fair and Rodeo for July 22–25, 2026, while directing staff to continue exploring timing and stakeholder input for any future expansion to five days.
The board debated whether to move to a five‑day fair for 2026 and weighed the logistical impacts on vendors, 4‑H/FFA schedules and carnival operators. Staff recommended treating 2026 as a study year and, if desired, moving to a five‑day model in 2027 after more planning and stakeholder outreach.
A motion to set the 2026 Jefferson County Fair and Rodeo dates passed by voice vote with the board approving July 22–25, 2026. Members asked staff to continue vendor outreach and to use 2026 as an opportunity to pilot schedule adjustments (such as earlier daily start times) before committing to an extra day in future years.
