Boots & Bling has become legendary for its sparkling energy, unforgettable entertainment, and record-breaking community support. Last year’s Dallas BIG theme, “All Hat, No Cadillac,” brought out phenomenal crowds and unprecedented generosity, helping us raise the largest sponsorship dollars in our history. With guests enjoying signature cocktails, gourmet dining, and thrilling live and silent auctions featuring one-of-a-kind items, the atmosphere was electric and memories were made that will last a lifetime.
We’re calling on sponsors, donors, and attendees to help make 2026 our most spectacular year yet! Your support not only fuels the excitement of Boots & Bling but directly benefits the mission of the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation—preserving and beautifying the iconic Kansas State Fairgrounds and inspiring excellence in Kansas agriculture, industry, and culture. By sponsoring or donating items, you’ll be a key part of enriching the traditions and unforgettable moments that thousands experience at the Kansas State Fair and year-round events.
Don’t miss out on the party everyone will be talking about—Boots & Bling 2026 promises dazzling entertainment, spirited auctions, and a celebration of community like no other.
