About Montana Winter Fair

The Montana Winter Fair, with roots of origin going back to 1946, is a celebration of Montana’s world-class agricultural production and enviable “western way of life”.

The Montana Winter Fair, was hosted every January in Bozeman from 1946 through 2002, when it re-located to Lewistown. The Montana Winter Fair continues to grow each year with participants, young and old, from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota and beyond.

Over 20 events are hosted at several venues throughout Lewistown each year. At the Fergus County Fairgrounds north of town, the Trade Center, Pavilion Sale Barn (north end of the Pavilion), Pavilion Arena, Ag Building and Draft Horse Barn will be utilized. On Main Street, Montana Day Building will host Winter Fair happenings.

Montana Winter Fair is a non-profit endeavor, organized and produced by hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers throughout the Central Montana Community. Local sponsors generously underwrite every facet of the Montana Winter Fair.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL WHO VOLUNTEER AND SPONSOR this unique and relevant observance of Montana as one of the greatest agricultural producers in the world!
