After almost two years, we are able to resume our full array of cherished fair activities and traditions this summer! The Sonoma-Marin fairgrounds is excited to welcome back our community from near and far! This year’s fair theme, “Everybody’s Fair” celebrates the rich and diverse cultures that make up the fabric of our community. Guests are welcomed to experience the vast diversity of our community as they visit each exhibit building, enjoying art, crafts, and displays that are representative of what makes our community so unique. We are honored to offer a place for community members to connect and build life long memories. With plentiful amount of activities for families and friends and all who want to enjoy the fair! The Sonoma-Marin Fair is not only known as a premier community event, but also holds international notoriety from the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest which has been featured on Netfilx, NBC, Animal Planet and ESPN! And while fun and entertaining, the contest speaks to the importance of advocating for the adoration of all animals and the benefits of adopting.
