Colorado State Fair tickets — Pueblo, CO

Discover the Historic Colorado State Fair Fairgrounds

The Colorado State Fair is more than a fairgrounds — it's a historic destination that brings Colorado together in Pueblo for concerts, rodeo, exhibitions, and classic midway fun. Nestled about 45 miles south of Colorado Springs, it’s where unforgettable moments happen — and Colorado State Fair tickets put you right in the middle of the action.

Founded in 1872 with fairgrounds established in 1901, the site blends classic fairground architecture with modern event spaces and technology. The Grandstand Arena seats approximately 10,000 for major concerts and rodeo, complemented by an on-site amphitheater, arenas, exhibition halls, and expansive midway areas.

Programming runs deep: the annual Colorado State Fair & Rodeo anchors the calendar, alongside concerts, livestock shows, exhibitions, festivals, and sporting events. Over the years, the stages have hosted Blake Shelton, Lady A, ZZ Top, Joan Jett, Gabriel Iglesias, Foreigner, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bret Michaels — a lineup as diverse as the fair itself.

What makes the experience stand out are the thoughtful upgrades and timeless touches: modern sound and lighting in concert and rodeo arenas, digital ticketing for major events, and a lively midway with rides and games. Evening concerts often unfold under vivid sunset skies, capped by nightly fireworks during the fair.

Whether you’re here for the rodeo, a sold-out show, or a day exploring exhibits and the midway, the Colorado State Fair delivers a classic-yet-modern experience you’ll want to revisit year after year.

• VIP Seating and Box Seats: For select concerts and rodeo, VIP and box seating bring you closer to the action with premium vantage points and comfortable spacing.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Colorado State Fair

1001 Beulah Ave

Pueblo, CO 81004

Located in Pueblo — roughly 45 miles south of Colorado Springs and about 110 miles south of Denver — the fairgrounds are easy to reach for a full day or night of entertainment.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in multiple lots; typical parking fees range from $5–$10 during major events. Overflow and accessible parking are offered as needed.

• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff zones are set near main entrances during the fair.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes early for major concerts, rodeo, and popular Colorado State Fair events. Early arrival makes parking, security screening, and navigating to your seats or favorite exhibits a breeze — and gives you time to explore the midway and exhibition halls before showtime.

Many events are outdoors. Pueblo summers are hot and dry with occasional thunderstorms, so bring sun protection and check the forecast. Evening temperatures can drop, so a light layer is smart if you’re staying for the fireworks or a late concert.

The fairgrounds are large and mostly flat, but you should expect significant walking between venues. Comfortable footwear is essential. If you’re using public transit or rideshare, plan a clear meeting point with your group near a main entrance to avoid crowds at closing time.

Venue Navigation

The Colorado State Fair grounds span multiple venues — the Grandstand Arena, amphitheater, exhibition halls, and midway — connected by accessible pathways and ramps. Signage helps you move between stages, arenas, barns, and exhibit spaces efficiently.

Concessions, restrooms, and official merchandise stands are positioned near major venues and along the midway. You’ll also find artisan booths, ATMs, charging stations in select areas, and first aid stations throughout the grounds. With lots to see, comfortable shoes and a simple plan for which exhibits or shows you want to hit first will help you make the most of your day.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bags are recommended; size limits typically 12"x6"x12". All bags are subject to search.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside alcohol, glass containers, drones, large umbrellas, coolers, and pets (except service animals).
• Re-entry Policy: Re-entry is allowed with a hand stamp or ticket scan; policies may vary by event.
• Service Animals: Permitted in accordance with ADA guidelines.
• Camera Policy: Non-professional cameras are allowed; professional equipment requires prior approval.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Expect significant walking; wear comfortable shoes and bring sun protection for daytime outdoor shows.
• If you’re attending evening concerts during the fair, stick around for the nightly fireworks and sunset views from the Grandstand.

Pre-Event Planning

Build your day around more than the main stage. Before or after your show, wander the agricultural exhibits, art shows, historic displays, and children’s activity zones for a full fair experience. Food and craft vendors line the midway, so you can taste your way through local favorites between sets.

Time your arrival to catch sunset hues during evening concerts — the Grandstand offers memorable views — and stay for the fireworks when the fair is in full swing. If you’re coordinating with a group, choose an easy-to-spot meetup point like the historic grandstand or a main gate near your section before the crowds arrive.

Want to plan around peak moments and must‑see shows? Keep an eye on the Colorado State Fair schedule and lock in your plans early — the biggest Colorado State Fair events draw enthusiastic crowds.
