Gallatin County Fairgrounds (GCF) has been serving the community since 1902 and the first Fair was held on the grounds in 1903. The property was purchased by a group of Bozeman pioneers in 1898 from the University of Syracuse with the express purpose of creating a regional Fairgrounds.
The property is currently comprised of 26 buildings on 78 acres surrounded by the City of Bozeman. Downtown lies a few blocks to the south, Walmart and the major shopping corridor along North 7th is immediately west, major hotels are within the immediate vicinity, and direct access onto I90 is right around the corner.
Our recent history shows that the name of our Fair has changed over the years from GallaCo to Gallatin County Fair and in 2016 to Big Sky County State Fair.
The story of the Fairgrounds mirrors the story of Gallatin County: new and vibrant uses have begun encroaching on the more traditional agricultural uses and some of those agricultural uses have begun to move.
