97th Annual North Texas Fair & Rodeo 100 Days Away

[DENTON, TEXAS] – Wrapping up summertime with fun and excitement for the entire family, the North Texas Fair & Rodeo (NTFR) brings delicious fair food, carnival rides, exceptional vendors, live music and intense rodeo action to Denton, Texas every August. The 97th annual NTFR will take place in 100 days, running August 15-24, 2025, at the North Texas Fairgrounds, with nightly rodeos starting at 7:30 p.m. followed by some of the hottest country music!

Every August, the NTFR consistently brings exceptional country music to the north Texas region. Nevertheless, with a rapidly growing association built on several generations of memberships and volunteers, the NTFR strives to place family fun and tradition at the forefront of the event.

“We continue to support our youth, agriculture and community,” said NTFR Executive Director Glenn Carlton. “We strive every year to make this event better than it was the previous year. We want to bring you fun and excitement for the whole family.”

The NTFR accomplishes this by hosting talented musical artists, professional and youth rodeos, livestock exhibitions, a premier midway and special exhibits. Continuing the legacy of the association, this year’s event will once again bring the north Texas community together to cherish our western heritage with LIVE entertainment, FUN attractions and NEW exhibits!

Once again, this year’s event will run a full 10 days. Gates will open at 5:30 p.m. during the week and 1:00 p.m. both weekends. The full entertainment lineup will be released June 12, 2025, and tickets will go on sale following the release.

The NTSFA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of western heritage. All revenue is reinvested into programs, scholarships and facilities. The NTFR, and its associates, contribute around $700,000 each year to area youth and charity. The NTFR and its facilities have a $22 million economic impact on Denton County and an approximately $12 million impact on the City of Denton.
