The 72nd Annual Yuma County Fair 2024, we couldn't be more excited to host another amazing fair! We have so much entertainment planned for you that you'll want to visit us all week, and we want you to visit us all week. We are one of the few fairs that offers daily entertainment, that's right, daily. We are bringing back some remarkable local talent as well as some new bands - the main stage entertainment starts from the time we open until we close our doors, or should I say gates?
