Here’s a rundown of some experiences that attendees will encounter when visiting the third annual Jeffco Fair & Festival.

Rides and Amusements

The Jeffco Fair & Festival has partnered with Paradise Amusements, a third-generation family owned and operated carnival, to bring thrilling rides, midway games and great fair food for all ages. Guests will have the option to purchase 1-day carnival wristbands or individual tickets for rides.

Our barrel train provides a gentler attraction option for tots. Kids can hop aboard this train and take a spin around the event all day.

Kids love pony rides and can enjoy a trot around the pony ring with Jefferson County’s very own Westernaires.

Our petting farm is interactive and features adorable animals to see and touch.
