MontanaFair is an agricultural celebration in the historic tradition of fairs. It is the region's largest event and was attended by over 230,000 people in 2004. Located at MetraPark in Billings. MontanaFair traditionally runs for eight days beginning the second Saturday in August. In the course of the fair, nearly 10,000 people will earn cash and ribbons for their entries which range from beer, wine, bunnies, crocheting, horticulture, draft horses, cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, petit-point, pickles, to hobbies, and arts and crafts.
The fair hours are 12 noon to 12 midnight each day. The Thomas Carnival operates the midway featuring 35 to 40 rides plus games. A special shady park for kid's rides accommodates families and the free Kid's World exhibit is nearby offering free games and activities for small children. A petting zoo is located in Kid's World as well. Food choices are abundant at the fair featuring the traditional corn dog, fried cheese curds, and funnel cakes plus corn on the cob, 'Vikings On a Stick', shrimp on a stick, lemonade, and beer gardens.
