The Eastern Idaho State Fair returns September 4–12, 2026, and this year, it’s all about red, white, and blue. Fairgoers are invited to dust off their denim and wave their flags high as the 124th annual fair celebrates with a bold patriotic theme: “RED, WHITE AND BLUE JEANS.” As America marks 250 years, there’s no better place to celebrate the spirit of 1776 than right here in Blackfoot.

This year’s fair blends hometown tradition with big-name entertainment, all set against a backdrop of community pride, agriculture, and good old-fashioned fun. From live music and rodeo action to free entertainment and fair food favorites, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Wear your red, white, and blue jeans proudly—whether they’re brandnew, wellworn, or passed down through generations.

Please visit our website at funatthefair.com or our Facebook page for the most up-to-date information to help make your experience as memorable as possible. We are thrilled about the entertainment lineup for the Grandstand and hope you will join us. 

Our success is rooted in our community, where we provide wholesome, affordable, and family-oriented entertainment while also educating the public about the benefits of Idaho agriculture. We are deeply grateful for the ongoing support of our dedicated staff, board of directors, superintendents, vendors, and volunteers, whose tireless work ensures an unforgettable experience for all. Over the past decade, the Fair has not only set seven attendance records but also raised over $400,000 annually for youth programs in Eastern Idaho, bringing the total to over $4 million.

The Eastern Idaho State Fair has always been a celebration of who we are — our community, our heritage, and the traditions that bring us together. With America celebrating 250 years, we’re thrilled to bring a fair experience that honors our past while delivering nine days of unforgettable entertainment.
