Saddle Up for the State Fair and Rodeo

The 95th annual nonprofit North Texas Fair & Rodeo will take place from August 18 through 26, 2023, at the North Texas Fairgrounds, in Denton. Highlights include fair food, carnival rides, nightly rodeos and hot country music. There will be talented musical artists, professional and youth rodeos, livestock exhibitions, a premier midway and special exhibits.

Nightly rodeos start at 7:30 p.m., followed by country music performances on two stages throughout the event with artists such as Aaron Watson, Scotty McCreery, La Mafia and more. Eight hundred seats have been added to the Coors Rodeo Arena and more remote parking options will be available on Saturdays at Texas Woman's University in addition to the two lots at First Baptist Church and the original Denton High School.

All revenue is reinvested into programs, scholarships and facilities dedicated to preserving Western heritage. The rodeo contributes around $500,000 each year to area youth and has a significant economic impact on Denton County and the city of Denton.
