The annual Montgomery County Fair is set to open its gates on Friday, April 12th, promising ten days of thrilling rodeo action, a significant lineup of country music stars, and classic fair attractions for the whole family. Running through Sunday, April 21st, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds near Conroe, Texas, this year’s event is poised to be one of the most exciting yet.

Fair President Stephen Daigle expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming festivities. “We are incredibly excited to welcome everyone back to the Montgomery County Fair,” Daigle said. “Our team has worked tirelessly to curate a diverse entertainment schedule that truly offers something for every age and interest, from top-tier country music to exhilarating rodeo and cherished community traditions.”

The fair is a major draw for country music fans, featuring several headlining acts performing throughout the week. For those attending the high-energy PRCA Rodeos, specific musical artists will take the stage immediately following the rodeo events. Kevin Fowler will kick off the post-rodeo entertainment on Friday, April 12th, followed by Aaron Watson taking the stage on Saturday, April 13th. Later in the week, Easton Corbin is slated to perform after the rodeo on Thursday, April 18th.

Beyond the rodeo arena, the fair’s main stage will host additional must-see performances. Casey Donahew is scheduled for Friday, April 19th, while Pecos & The Rooftops will close out the main stage acts on Saturday, April 20th.

Rodeo Chairman Cody Wilson highlighted the synergy between the two events. “The PRCA Rodeos are always a massive draw, showcasing incredible talent and thrilling competition,” Wilson stated. “Pairing these adrenaline-pumping events with performances from artists like Kevin Fowler, Aaron Watson, and Easton Corbin creates an unforgettable experience that’s truly unique to our fair.”

Beyond the musical acts and rodeo, the fair maintains its rich tradition of community engagement and entertainment. The highly anticipated annual BBQ Cook-off returns on Friday, April 19th, and Saturday, April 20th, promising mouth-watering aromas and fierce competition. Classic fair staples will also be in full swing, including a vibrant carnival with rides and games for all ages, daily livestock shows featuring the hard work of local youth, and showcases of local talent through youth art and photography contests. The fair’s long-standing commitment to education is highlighted by scholarship awards for deserving local students, an integral part of its mission.

Daily fair admission is priced at $15 for adults aged 12 and up, and $5 for children aged 5-11. Children four and under receive free entry.
