Western Montana Fair Carnival Rides 2024

There is so much about going to the Western Montana Fair that can put a smile on your face. The food is always a highlight of the fair for me. There are the favorites that have been at the fair for decades, like a Tater Pig, fry bread, or a Viking. The fair also continues to evolve by adding some of Western Montana's delicious food truck choices for the event.

Another part of the fair that can put a smile on your face, or have you screaming in excitement is the popular carnival rides. This year at the Western Montana Fair there is a lot to choose from when it comes to rides. There are rides for the small kiddos. Rides for people who want a different view of Missoula, and rides for adults who want a thrill. You can find yourself going around in circles or going upside down, and sometimes both at once.

The Zipper- This ride has been a staple at fairs across the country for years. I still get nervous when I hear the metal doors close on the cars.

Ferris Wheel- For a different view of Missoula that you don't normally see, check out the top of the Ferris Wheel.

The Freak Out- This ride looks like the scariest and most thrilling ride this year. It is called the "Freak Out" for a reason.

Dragon Ride- There are a lot of rides that are for the kids. Here is one where they ride in the belly of a "beast".

The Western Montana Fair will continue through this Sunday. Then the workers will pack up the food trucks, the carnival games and rides and we will have to wait another year to enjoy the spectacle that is the Western Montana Fair.
