Dear friends and visitors: Welcome to Zapata County Fair!
On behalf of the Zapata County Fair Association, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 40th Annual Zapata County Fair!
The Association takes great pride in the work we do on behalf of the residents of Zapata County and of our many volunteers and staff members who spend countless hours working on the many areas of this annual event. We sincerely thank them for their hard work and dedication.
There is much to see and do during this three-weekend festival. From our famous animal auctions, to the performances of our local youth, to the spectacular performances of Intocable, Duelo, Los Invasores de Nuevo Leon and many others.
Also, don’t forget to try your favorite county fair food! These activities and many more are listed in the Official Zapata County Fair Program book. Please take the time to review it to ensure you don’t miss out on your county fair favorites.
We thank you for your support of the Zapata County Fair and hope that your visit is fun filled and creates memories to last a lifetime. Be sure to let your friends and neighbors know what a great time you had at the Best Little Fair In Texas!
Yours truly,
Carmen Paredes,
Zapata County Fair President
