Welcome to the Gem/Boise County Fair & PRCA Black Canyon Stock Show & Rodeo

Our Land. Our Legacy.

As our nation proudly celebrates 250 years, we invite you to join us in honoring the land, the people, and the traditions that have shaped who we are. The Gem/Boise County Fair and PRCA Black Canyon Stock Show & Rodeo are more than events — they are a reflection of community, heritage, and the legacy we are building together for future generations.

Rooted in agriculture, family, and western values, this year’s theme, “Our Land, Our Legacy,” celebrates the hard work, resilience, and pride that define our region and our country. From the fairgrounds to the arena, every moment is designed to bring people together and create memories that last a lifetime.

Looking Ahead to an Incredible Year

The upcoming year is shaping up to be one of our most exciting yet. With the continued growth of our fair and rodeo, we are proud to offer a week filled with tradition, entertainment, competition, and fun for all ages. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or visiting for the first time, you’ll find something here that feels like home.

Thank You to Our Supporters & Sponsors

None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of our sponsors, volunteers, partners, and community members. Your commitment helps preserve our fairgrounds, support youth programs, and ensure these events remain a cornerstone of our community. We are deeply grateful for the role you play in carrying this legacy forward.

Family Night – Thursday, July 30

We’re especially excited to kick things off with Family Night on Thursday, July 30 — a night dedicated to affordable fun, laughter, and quality time together. It’s the perfect way to start the celebration and experience everything the fair and rodeo have to offer in a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.
