Celebrating Community Since 1937

The Placer County Fair has been a summertime tradition since 1937 — bringing families, youth, local businesses, and neighbors together to celebrate everything that makes Placer County special. Built on community pride and shared experiences, the fair continues to be a place where memories are made year after year.

A Tradition Built by the Community

What began as a small agricultural fair has grown into a four-day celebration filled with livestock shows, family activities, live music, food competitions, local vendors, and unforgettable moments. Through decades of change, one thing has remained constant: the Placer County Fair is built by this community, for this community. It’s where generations come together to honor tradition while creating new memories.

Celebrating the Past, Present, and Future

From toddlers seeing farm animals for the first time to couples enjoying summer nights under the stage lights, the fair brings people of all ages together. 4-H and FFA members proudly step into the show ring, local performers take the stage, and families return year after year. Today, the Placer County Fair continues to evolve while staying true to its roots — celebrating agriculture, supporting local youth, and welcoming everyone who calls Placer County home.

ADA Accessibility at the Placer County Fair

The Placer County Fair is committed to accessibility and inclusion for all guests. The Placer County Fairgrounds provide ADA-compliant access to all permanent buildings and public areas, with accessible parking, seating, pathways, and restroom facilities available throughout the campus. Not all carnival attractions may be accessible, and accessibility may vary by ride.

Restrooms

Accessible restroom facilities are available throughout the Placer County Fairgrounds and can accommodate guests with disabilities and guests using wheelchairs. Guests are encouraged to refer to the fair map, available online and at Information Booths, for restroom locations.

Service Animals

Service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are permitted on the fairgrounds. Service animals must be on a leash or harness at all times, and a member of the guest’s party must remain with the animal. Therapy, comfort, or emotional support animals are not recognized as service animals under the ADA and are not permitted.

Smoking Area

For the comfort and safety of all guests, smoking is permitted only in one designated area, which is in front of the main ticket plaza. Please refer to the fair map for the exact location.
