Come out to the fair – July 31 – August 5, 2018 in Cuba, NM!
The Sandoval County Fair offers the most fun a family can have without busting its budget. This week-long annual event truly offers events that appeal to folks of all ages.
Starting at five years old, kids and teens can enter the Junior Rodeo. If that’s not to their liking, they can raise farm animals and match their best against other participants in 4H-sponsored contests that end with the prize-winning animals being auctioned for cash.
Adults also have a variety of ways to compete at the fair—from their own rodeo to cooking, baking, quilting and arts and crafts contests.
There’s also a special day for Senior Citizens highlighted by a picnic that includes dancing with live music. And let’s not forget what’s sure to be everyone’s favorite event—the annual County Fair Parade.
The 2018 Sandoval County Fair runs July 31 through August 5 at the scenic county fairgrounds in Cuba, New Mexico. A single adult can get a full-day pass for $5.00, with passes for youth 12 and under going for only $3.00. However, the best deal is a $25 family pass that buys entry for the entire fair if you pre-purchase. Family pass at the gate is $40.
If you really want to be part of the fun, review the links on the left side of this page, and fill out an application for the competition of your choice. There also are applications for vendors and concessionaires.

Pie Town’s Pie Festival is the second Saturday of September run and organized by a 501 (c) 3 non-profit to benefit the people of Pie Town.
In the past, funds raised by Pie Festival have been used to improve the community center and the festival by adding new picnic benches, buying a commercial freezer to help with our pie baking, and to pay our local help for clean up in Jackson Park. We’re also working on new playground equipment and other improvements to our community center.
Pie Town NM USA’s Pie Festival first began as a local community canning event and has grown into a slice of old time fun for everyone.
Pie Town has been known as a haven for pies ever since Clyde Norman, a WWI vet settled in the area and started making pies for those traveling through. As the story goes, in 1924, a red-headed Texas cowboy named Harmon L. Craig bought a half-interest in Pie Town for “one dollar of good and lawful money and other valuable consideration.” (Records show, however, that Craig really paid $700, but he got two cows and two calves thrown in, along with the Houndpup mining claim and all improvements on the land). Craig opened a gas station and garage. Pie Town’s fame was spread even wider when Russel Lee arrived in Pie Town to document rural life in the 1940’s. Pie Town still retains much of the charm of that era, when life was simple and the pie was a staple of every roadside cafe.
Pie Town offers free dry camping behind the Jackson Park, along with several RV sites in Pie Town and at Top of the World. In addition, Pie Town now offers four pie cafes that will be open during the event. Pie Town NM USA is located directly on Highway 60, West of New Mexico’s Very Large Array (VLA) made famous in the movie, Contact with Jodi Foster.
Proceeds from the Pie Festival go to help support the community and keep Pie Town a haven for anyone who loves pie. Our festival, pie auction, fundraiser dinner provide scholarships for local students and offers a benevolent fund to help those in our community in need.
