ONE MORE NIGHT…
After days of rodeo, bulls, cowboys, flags, carnival lights, fair food, families, traffic, music and thousands of people moving through the grounds, the 2026 North Texas Fair & Rodeo comes down to one final night.
From the ground, you experience the Fair one moment at a time.
From the air—and especially watching it all move through a timelapse—you begin to see something completely different. The flags running through the arena, the traffic flowing in and out, the carnival spinning and flashing, the rodeo arena coming alive and an entire fairground moving almost like one living thing.
That's what I love about photographs and video. Sometimes you don't really see the whole story until you change your perspective.
Lisa and I have thoroughly enjoyed photographing the North Texas Fair & Rodeo again this year. It's been a long week, a lot of miles on the cameras—and probably a few on us too—but we wouldn't trade the memories or the photographs we've made.
Tonight is the final night of the 2026 North Texas Fair & Rodeo, and we'll be there to finish what we started.
If you've been part of the Fair this year—whether you competed, worked it, volunteered, performed, brought your family or just came out to enjoy a little North Texas tradition—thank you for giving us so much to photograph.
You can see photographs from throughout the entire week here:

One more night.
Then we'll put a bow on 2026…and start looking forward to 2027.
