Fairgrounds Overview
The historic Garfield County Fairgrounds, located in Rifle, Colorado, dates to the early twentieth century. The grandstands were first constructed in 1938 and have been expanded over the years. The facility consists of a 225′ x 140′ indoor arena, a 250′ x 150′ outdoor arena, 140 stalls, and three meeting rooms/banquet halls. The facility hosts a wide variety of events throughout the year.
Facilities at the fairgrounds can be rented 7 days per week, from 8 a.m. to midnight, for banquets, meetings, conferences, private parties and dances, horse, dog or livestock shows, rodeos, bull ridings, carnivals, concerts, trade shows, swap meets, motor sports events and more.
