The Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo will run April 9–19 in Conroe, featuring new events, youth-focused programming, and continued efforts to support local students through scholarships and community engagement.
The Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo is set to make its return from April 9 to 19, offering over a week of activities focused on youth development, community involvement, and cherished local traditions.
According to organizers, the fair continues to prioritize its mission of providing opportunities for young people in Montgomery County, despite the event's significant growth since its inception.
The annual event, taking place at the fairgrounds on Airport Road, is anticipated to attract over 75,000 visitors, with thousands of volunteers and members supporting daily operations.
“Community holds significant meaning for us at the fair,” stated Executive Director Tobin Redwine. “Our identity is shaped by our community, and every aspect of the fair embodies that essence.”
What began in the 1960s as a modest “field day” on a ranch has, over the past 60 years, transformed into a significant regional fair and rodeo event. Even with that growth, organizers assert that its fundamental mission—to support local youth—has stayed the same.
Organizers report that a vital aspect of this initiative is the scholarship program, which has granted over $2 million to students in Montgomery County since its inception in 1993.
This year's lineup features a blend of classic rodeo events alongside activities designed for the whole family. The schedule kicks off on April 8 with the Dos Chicas barrel race, leading into Sunshine Day and student field trips on April 10. From April 10 to 12, youth and professional rodeo competitions will take place, featuring a ranch rodeo and a variety of additional programming.
This year's schedule introduces “Faith at the Fair,” taking place on April 12. The upcoming event promises to showcase performances and programming that emphasize faith, family, and community values. Redwine stated that the new addition demonstrates the fair's dedication to broadening its audience while staying true to its origins.
Among the notable events are a pet parade scheduled for April 14 and the Kidz Contest, a junior barbecue competition, taking place on April 18.
Redwine urged residents and visitors alike to participate, characterizing the fair as a showcase of Montgomery County’s unique combination of development and tradition.
“Montgomery County is uniquely positioned at the intersection of innovation and growth, while also preserving a deep connection to its history and heritage,” he stated. “It’s an excellent opportunity to engage and also a means to connect with that distinctive intersection.”
The Montgomery County Fair and Rodeo is set to take place at 9333 Airport Road in Conroe. Tickets can be purchased online via the event's official website.
