About the Venue

“The Yolo County Fair is the largest and oldest free gate fair in California. It maintains this status because of the hundreds of volunteers, county/community support, sponsorships, and partnerships with county businesses and individuals. The fairgrounds also hosts several large annual events such as the Sacramento Scottish Games & Festival, AKC shows, 4-H Spring Show, and numerous other public and private events year around. The fairgrounds is also the county’s emergency destination location for people and animals, and training space for numerous police and fire departments.”
