SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — The annual Summit County Fair returns August 2-9, offering a week of classic fair events, community traditions, and family-friendly entertainment.

The fair will kick off with the fan-favorite Demolition Derby at 7 p.m. Food booths, a beer garden, and a horse show earlier in the day all provide a solid beginning to fair week.

Throughout the week, the Coalville fairgrounds will feature time-honored classics, including carnival rides, home and fine arts exhibits, livestock shows, live music, and food booths.

The PRCA Rodeo will be held Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. Spectators will watch professional cowboys test their skills on bucking broncos and barrel races. For the younger crowd, the Little Buckaroo Rodeo on Tuesday and Wednesday promises pint-sized thrills, including the beloved mutton busting competition.

The fair wraps up with a full-day celebration on August 9, starting early with the Park City Lions’ Breakfast, followed by the Coalville Main Street Parade at 10 a.m.

Events take place at the Summit County Fairgrounds in Coalville. While many events are free, the PRCA Rodeo and Demolition Derby will require tickets.
