Missing fair food right about now…countdown is on!🌭🍕🍟🍗🍪🍦🍭🥨 #CapCut #MontanaFair #FairFood #BestFood

From MetraPark's General Manager and Assistant General Manager to YOU. Thank you for attending and supporting the 2024 MontanaFair. It was one of our biggest years ever and it's all thanks to this wonderful community.

🏆 Congratulations to all of the 2024 MontanaFair People's Choice Award winners! The three "Vendors of the Year" have been chosen for the indoor, outdoor, and food and beverage vendor categories. Which vendors do you think took home the most prestigeous awards of the year?

We’re gettin’ in a Rowdy Mood for night two of Yellowstone River Roundup!🤠 @rowdymoodhatco

✉️ Would you grab the envelope if you saw our Marketing Coordinator, Liz, standing out on the midway? A few lucky fairgoers did just that and won big at MontanaFair!

🚜🚧 Yellowstone Dig It Days is back with big equipment and tons of fun for families of all ages! The event continues Saturday, August 17 from noon to 6pm in the Infield. Entrance is included with your gate admission.

What's your favorite fair food? 🍗🍿🍔

🎡 The Mighty Thomas Carnival brought 45 rides to MontanaFair this year -- a fitting number for their 45th year bringing smiles and joy to the Midway.

🐐🤠 What is a costume animal parade? It's pretty much a whole lot of cuteness with a large dose of fun. This year's theme was the "Wild Wild West."

Have you ever wondered what the different colored ribbons mean in our Heritage Arts, Art Barn, and Youth Art buildings? Heritage Arts Superintendent, Marie Smith, has the details.

🏆 We're thrilled to bring back the People's Choice Awards again this year where YOU can vote daily for your favorite vendors in three categories: vendors located inside the Montana Pavilion, outdoor vendors, and food vendors.
