What's Happening?
The Nevada State Fair is set to return from June 11-13, 2026, at the Nevada State Fairgrounds in Reno, marking its revival after more than a decade. Organized by the Nevada Department of Agriculture, the fair will showcase the state's agricultural heritage
and youth programs. Events will include the Nevada Junior Livestock Show, the University of Nevada, Reno Extension 4-H State Expo, and the Nevada Governor’s Sale of Champions. The fair's return follows the passage of Nevada Assembly Bill 333, which restored the fairgrounds to the agriculture department.

The fair also serves as a platform for community engagement and education, particularly for youth involved in agricultural programs.
