The Ranch Event Lawn Grand Opening & Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
Join The Ranch Events Complex and the Loveland Chamber of Commerce on the opening evening of the 2026 Larimer County Fair, Friday, July 31, at 5:00 p.m., for the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the new 21-acre Event Lawn.
This milestone marks the completion of the first Phase II Master Plan project and the community’s first opportunity to experience the new lawn during this year’s Fair.
The event will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, remarks from the Larimer County Board of County Commissioners, Master Plan project partners, and additional guest speakers, along with a commemorative gift, a Master Plan booth featuring members of the project team, and more. Guests will have the opportunity to meet the team, ask questions, and learn more about the remaining projects coming to The Ranch.
After the ribbon cutting, guests are encouraged to stay and celebrate the opening day of the 2026 Larimer County Fair on the new Event Lawn. As one of Larimer County’s long-standing traditions, the Fair brings the community together year after year, and we are excited to kick off this year’s celebration in a brand-new space built for gathering, connection, and unforgettable experiences.
