The Brazoria County Fair Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities and scholarships to the youth of Brazoria County. Our Fair is a 9-day annual event that takes place in October of every year. It is known for its old-fashioned fair atmosphere and traditional fair entertainment such as carnival rides, rodeo, concerts, concessions and livestock/agriculture displays. The fair takes place in a 120-acre fairground covered with permanent buildings attracting about quarter of a million people.Brazoria County Fair is a planned event that would provide competition, entertainment, enjoyment, and an opportunity for county residents and visitors to get together with friends. The fair provides people with a standard of excellence, which all county residents could work to achieve and to encourage the continued improvement of the equality of life in Brazoria County.
BCFA conducts several events throughout the year including our annual Science Fair in February, Youth Summer Series Rodeo in June, Spike & Spurs Golf Classic in August, Annual Kick-off dinner and dance is September and of course our Fair in October.
Today the Brazoria County Fair has approximately 2,000 members. There is a board of directors that total 99 and a 26 member executive board that oversee the different areas of the Fair. Today it takes more than 500 volunteers to keep the Fair Association operating.
