Marin County Fair

July 1 - July 5

Celebrating its 65th year, the Marin County Fair is one of the biggest community events of the summer.

This year's fair is themed "Going Global," and will feature attractions, entertainment, and exhibits from various cultures and international locales. There will be African acrobats, geocaching adventures, demonstrations, and performances representing more than 25 countries, a vintage pinball machine exhibit, and a solar powered carousel.

And of course it wouldn't be a county fair without the traditional fun and games: 28 carnival rides, games of skill and chance, nightly fireworks, loveable farm animals, and interactive exhibits. Come see artists and craftspeople compete for the blue ribbon in 800 categories ranging from baking and winemaking to photography and filmmaking.
 
Both Bay Area artists and popular retro bands perform throughout the event, including Wilson Phillips, The Wailers, Tiempo Libre, The Four Tops, and more. Admission to all concerts is included with price of a fair ticket.

If you still haven't had enough after a full day of music, rides, and exhibits, stay for the Fantastic Fireworks, launching nightly at 9:30 p.m. Watch the sky above the fair illuminate with Roman candles, comets, meteoric showers, and bursting cascades of twinkling color.
