The Northwest Montana Fair and Rodeo is back for 2026, and summer in the Flathead is about to get a whole lot louder. In this episode, we sit down with Flathead County Fairgrounds Manager Sam Nunnally and Event Sponsorship Coordinator Kelsi Hansberry to preview everything coming to this year’s fair—from Walker Hayes, rodeo action, and carnival favorites to new attractions like pig races, a petting zoo, and pony rides.

We also discuss major fairgrounds improvements, how the team hosts nearly 750 events and 250,000 visitors each year, and why buying tickets directly from the fair is the best way to avoid scams and extra fees.

Whether you're a longtime fairgoer or planning your first visit, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at one of Northwest Montana’s biggest summer traditions.
