Country Fair Days, nine days run by the people who live here.

The city publishes both a pattern and a year, and the pattern is the useful one: Country Fair Days takes place the first week of August every year. The 2026 edition ran from 31 July to 8 August, which the city advertised as save the dates on its own page. Checked in August 2026, those dates are in the past, and a page still being up is not evidence that an event is still ahead. Take next year's dates from the city's own page in the spring rather than from any third party listing, including this one.

Nine days. The 2026 edition opened on 31 July and closed on 8 August, which takes in two weekends and the week between them. That is a long festival for a city of about eight thousand people, and the reason it can run that long is visible in how it is organised: the city's coordinator list carries sixteen separately run events, each with its own volunteer organiser, rather than one production with a single programme. A city does not staff nine days of events; a city of this size fields them.

In 1976, according to the city's own history page, which says it began that year, put together by our long time resident Kathy Poll, and adds that since its inception many hands have come to the table to make the tradition live on. A published founding year with a named founder attached is more than most city festivals record about themselves. What the city does not publish anywhere is a claim about which edition any particular year represents, so this page prints the founding year and no edition number.

Sixteen coordinated events on the city's own 2026 list, spread across nine days. They include a parade, a car show, a chalk art day, a golf outing, a pickleball tournament, a Monday dinner, a family game night, a movie in the park run by the City Council, a basketball shooting contest, a children's race, a memorial race, a pop up sweet shop, vendor booths and two that are worth naming on their own: a Little Buckaroo Rodeo and an Old Timers Ball Game. The city publishes the roster and the organisers but not a timetable, and points readers at an events schedule flyer for times and venues.

Across the city's own parks and streets rather than at one festival ground. Central Park at 7355 South 1375 East carries the only stage the city owns. Canyon Meadows Park at 631 East Peterson Parkway carries the pickleball and basketball courts, the bike track and a concession stand the city prices for booking. The Posse Grounds on Old Fort Road has a paddock and an arena, which is the obvious venue for a children's rodeo in a city with no other horse facility, though that connection is not confirmed in any published source. The events flyer is the document that names venues.

No, and the confusion is worth heading off because a search returns the county event first. The Weber County Fair is a much larger event held up in Ogden, in a different county from this city despite the name it shares with the river here. Country Fair Days is South Weber's own nine day city festival, organised by residents and run on city ground. If a guide gives you a county fair in South Weber, or gives you county fair dates for this city's festival, it has answered the wrong question.

The city does not publish a price for it, event by event or as a whole, so this page will not either. Some of the sixteen events are plainly free to attend, such as the parade and the movie in the park, and others are organised entries with registration through the city's recreation system, which is a different thing from a gate charge. The consolidated fee schedule prices facility bookings and recreation programmes, but not festival attendance. If cost matters for a specific event, ask the coordinator listed on the city's page.

Yes, and it publishes the whole schedule, which is unusual. The fiscal 2026 to 2027 consolidated fee schedule sets a special event application at 50 dollars for a resident and 100 for a non resident, a refundable damage deposit of 150 dollars for events up to 299 people with an inspection required, and an additional 75 dollars for each 100 people above that. Public works time runs from 75 dollars an hour up to 299 participants to 150 an hour above 500, with non resident rates doubled, and there is a separate special hazards line at 500 dollars.

For nine days at the turn of July into August, probably yes, and that is worth knowing rather than worrying about. A parade needs a street closure, a car show and a ball game fill parking around a park, and a rodeo puts traffic somewhere a normal week does not. None of that is published route by route, so the honest answer for a specific address is to ask the city or a local agent which streets carry the parade and where the overflow parking lands. If you are visiting to make up your mind about the town, that week is the best one to see it.
