One of the many great things about summer in Sacramento County is the California State Fair. This year’s festivities kick off July 13 through July 29 at Cal Expo and includes 17 days full of concerts, competitions, vendors, great food and lots of fun! 

The State Fair always has iconic attractions and family friendly activities and this year is no different. The 2018 Toyota Concert Series on the Golden 1 Stage has concerts every night and be sure to check out the other stages for music, dance and cultural performances. Thursdays through Sundays will feature live thoroughbred horseracing. Plus, there will be sports action with a Sac Republic game, freestyle motocross, dog competitions and cornhole championships.  

No trip to the CA State Fair is complete without the thrill of the carnival rides, and be sure to check out the kid’s Read to Ride program. Other exhibits and experiences include animal livestock, art exhibits, county exhibits, classic car shows, wine & beer tasting, and shopping.
