The New Mexico State Fair runs September 10 through 20 at Expo New Mexico, and the 2026 theme is 100 Years of Historic Route 66. We take that one personally. Several Score420 stores sit right on the Mother Road, so this year’s fair feels like it was written for us.

We are sending you there. Here is how it works.

Spend $20, get 4 ride tickets

Every day of the fair, September 10 through 20, spend $20 or more at any Score420 location and walk out with four ride tickets for the midway. No raffle, no drawing, no waiting. Hit the threshold and they are yours at the counter.

That runs the full eleven days, so whether you are going opening weekend or closing Sunday, the offer is live.

Raffles: September 10 through 16

On top of the ride tickets, we are running raffles during the first week of the fair. Entries are open September 10 through 16, and your spend at the register is your entry.

Matinee Rodeo, live drawing September 17. Spend $30 or more to enter for regular seats. Spend $100 or more to enter for VIP seats. The Chevron PRCA rodeos at Tingley Coliseum are one of the best things at the fair, and rodeo tickets include your gate admission.

Mega Pass, live drawings September 13 and 17. Spend $50 or more to enter. The Mega Pass is the fair’s unlimited ride wristband. It covers your gate admission plus unlimited rides on the carnival midway for the day, and it normally runs $35.

Drawings are live, so follow us to watch them happen.

What this is actually worth

Gate admission alone is $15.50 for adults and $10.50 for seniors and kids. Four ride tickets on top of that covers a decent run at the midway before you spend anything extra. If your name comes up for a Mega Pass, your whole day is handled.

Put it together and a normal shopping trip turns into a fair day.

Where to go

All 14 Score420 locations are in on this. If you are heading to Expo New Mexico at 300 San Pedro Drive NE, the closest stops are our Albuquerque stores: East Central, Nob Hill, Old Town, Old Coors, and 4th Street. East Central and Nob Hill both sit on Central Avenue, which is Route 66 itself, so you can honor the theme on the way in.

Outside Albuquerque, we are in Las Cruces, Sunland Park, Alamogordo, Hobbs, Clovis, Farmington, Gallup, and Fort Sumner. Find your closest store and ask a budtender about the fair deals when you check out.

See you on the midway.
