History
The first Fort Bend
County Fair was held October 6-8, 1933. The original Fairground
was located between Richmond and Rosenberg, on the property now
occupied by Fiesta on Avenue H. In 1974, the Fairground was
moved to the existing location on State Highway 36 just south of
U.S. Highway 59 in Rosenberg.
Youth education has always been a primary focus of fair
activities. In recent years, the development of a scholarship
program has provided deserving Fort Bend County students with
scholarships to Texas colleges and universities. Annually,
thirty scholarships are awarded to our high school youth.
Through the years, the Fort Bend County Fair has grown into one
of the largest and most successful fairs in the State. Residents
of the county eagerly anticipate visiting with friends and
neighbors at some of the many activities the Fair has to offer.
The Fort Bend
County Fair Association is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
