Guests who purchase in advance will receive a Carnival Wristband Voucher, which should be brought to the Butler Carnival ticket boxes located inside the Fair. At that time, you will exchange your voucher for your wristband.

Please note that Fair admission is not included with the voucher, and it is not valid for the SunDola Sky Ride. The voucher is valid for one-time use and may be redeemed for a wristband on anyone (1) day of the Fair.

Wristbands provide unlimited carnival rides for the day they are redeemed. Please be aware that all rides have height restrictions. Rider safety is the highest priority, and Butler Amusements strictly enforces all ride height restrictions. These requirements are determined by the carnival and its insurance provider; the Fair does not control them.

Once the Fair begins, unlimited ride wristbands will also be available for purchase on-site for $40 each (Monday–Thursday) or $45 each (Friday–Sunday).

Discount Carnival Wristbands: $36 (add $6.00 per ticket service fee when purchasing online)

After a year hiatus, the Aces Wild Rough Stock Round-Up returns to anchor the first weekend of the Fair in the Coca-Cola Grandstand. Featuring bareback riding, ranch bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding, the rodeo will get underway at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25, and Sunday, Sept. 26. Before the rodeo each day, a mutton busting event featuring kids 4-6 years old will be held. Famed PRCA rodeo clown Tate Rhoads and award-winning professional rodeo announcer Steve Kenyon will keep fans entertained and informed during the events.

Sunday, Oct. 4, will feature a demolition derby in the Coca-Cola Grandstand, with multiple race classes, specialty events, and family-friendly entertainment – including a Power Wheels Derby for young children. Gates open at 4 p.m., which will give fans the opportunity to view the cars via early-access pit passes before the 5 p.m. start of the derby.
