The Santa Cruz County Fair is your one-stop-shop for family fun!
When you and your kiddos enter through the gates of the fairgrounds, you’ll be transported to a world of magic, music, comedy, dancing, rides, animals, flowers, art and edible treats.
And we’re going to let you in on a little secret—the Fair is also educational!
In our Ag-Hort Department, you’ll get a gander at giant pumpkins and learn all about where our food comes from. In the Bug Barn, you can hold a living insect and study a working beehive.
Wander through our Livestock Barn to see pigs, goats, sheep and steer… and talk with the 4-H and FFA teens who raised the animals – they’re a smart bunch who love to share their knowledge of livestock. The Ag-History Project is a trip back in time. Kids can drive a tractor, learn how to milk a cow and try their hand at using old-fashioned farm equipment.
The Santa Cruz County Fair is truly a marvelous mix of fun and learning for fairgoers of all ages!
The Fair offers new entertainment every year! New this year, Pro-Wrestling Revolution, It’s Showtime Circus, FMX Ramp-Age (additional ticket required) and the Slime Lab!
Live concerts include The White Album Ensemble, RED – A Taylor Swift Tribute, The Outlaw Mariachi and Los Dinnos! And back by popular demand, our Santa Cruz Lights Drone Show!
The Fair offers FREE admission for kids 12 and under on Thursday, September 11th.
And pile five or more people into your car and parking is free!
