Celebrate at the Arch Gate

The gates are opening, and we’re throwing a PARTY! Meet us at Gate 1, Friday, September 18 at 11 AM as we officially kick off the 2026 Tri-State Fair & Rodeo at the Arch Gate! We’re bringing the music, confetti, party hats and Hype Crew to help you celebrate the start of 10 days of Fair fun. And because every great party needs a little something extra, the first 150 guests in our iconic arch gate will receive a Food Court Coupon presented by Cactus Cove Inn and Suites! ENTRANCE is FREE until 3 PM! Grab your crew and help us make the first moments of Fair a Memory You Can’t Miss!
