Pueblo And The Colorado State Fair Continue To Enrich The State

Pueblo, Colorado was once a humble trading post.  Its name is derived from a structure that a trapper and trader erected, known as El Pueblo.  El Pueblo's construction in 1842 seems to be a foreshadowing of an annual tradition that is more than 140 years strong and still going. The Colorado State Fair has brought trade, people, culture and entertainment to the city of Pueblo just as the town's historic structure and namesake did, 30 years prior to the Fair's start.

Starting the 3rd Thursday of September and running until the 1st Sunday in August since 1872 the Colorado State fair brings an added flavor to the city of Pueblo, Colorado's vibrant cultural prospects.  Just as many state fairs in the United States are deeply rooted in agriculture, so to Colorado's.  Rodeo and livestock shows are staples of the fair as well as other agricultural happening. Music, arts, and crafts are exhibited during the fairs run representing and displaying both local and world artists. The rides and smells of the midway only make the entertainment factor of the fair the more enjoyable.

The Fair's end every year does not mean the end of the venues viability. It just allows other uses of the venue.  Parties, trade shows, concerts, and sporting events can all be accommodated by the fairs many pavilions and its auditorium. The American Furniture Warehouse Amphitheatre offers an intimate venue for all types of fine arts productions. Boasting a seating capacity of nearly 8,000 the Southwest Motors Event Center and the Budweiser Rodeo Arena's capacity of nearly 11,000, the fair is able to offers a venue for nearly any event.

The Colorado State Fair has grown immensely since its conception. Just as the city has grown from a single structure to become one of the most populous cities in Colorado, so has the fair. The fair and Pueblo itself, complements the other in offering the state a number of diverse cultural and enriching opportunities.
