Allen County Fair Rodeo Website: rodeosusa.com/rodeos/allen-county-fair-rodeo/
The Allen County Fair is a highlight for much of the city during the month of August. The fair allows people to gather to show and enjoy local talents of the community.
For the musically inclined, country and gospel concerts are available. Vocal and talent contests exhibit various abilities of residents of Southeast Kansas. Others talents focus less on performance and display gifts in various other areas such as entomology, gardening, woodworking, photography, arts and crafts, rocketry, farm products and livestock. Many participate in the fair as members of 4-H. A rodeo, demolition derby, and tractor and horse pulls are local favorites. Although some of the entertainers and events change from year to year, the tradition of the over a hundred year old fair lives on.

The community of Humboldt joins to honor God through the Biblesta Parade. It is with pride, as well as humility, that Humboldt dedicates this day to the Lord. The Biblesta Parade consists of floats depicting events from the Bible, walking entries, equestrian units, and marching bands playing Christian music. Everyone is dressed in Biblical costumes. The events are arranged in chronological order from Genesis to Revelation. One of the favorite floats has been "Jonah and the Whale". Retired from the competition part of the parade, this forty-foot float continues to be one of the most fascinating to parade visitors.
Before and after the parade, enjoy gospel music in the City Square provided by nationally-known entertainers (bring a lawn chair). Children can enjoy the pony rides, petting zoo, and Bible school. Food vendors are available throughout the day. Plan to stay for the FREE ham and bean feed.
