Due to concerns about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Fort Bend County Fair Board of Directors and Staff are saddened to announce the cancellation of the 2020 Fort Bend County Fair: the first cancellation since World War II. The Fort Bend County Fair was scheduled for September 25 – October 4.
After careful consideration for the health and safety of our community and fairgoers, the difficult decision was reached after months of discussions and planning with board members, staff, and committeemen, as well as with County, City & Health officials. The Fair Association will faithfully and respectfully follow the City and County’s recommendation.
We will be honoring our mission of: “Benefiting Youth, Promoting Agriculture, and Supporting Education” by holding a modified Fort Bend County livestock show and auctions and the queen’s scholarship contest pending approval of the COVID-19 mitigation plan. It is our intention that Grand Champions will be named, Scholarships will be awarded, and a Fair Queen will be crowned.
The Fair Association sincerely appreciates the community partnership and support. We will continue to work hard in bringing you the best fair experience…please join the longstanding tradition scheduled to run next year from September 24 – October 3, 2021.
Stay safe and watch for updates on our website and social media platforms connected with our fair.
Thank you,
– Sean Gutierrez your 2020 Fort Bend County Fair President
