The Alameda County Fair Proudly Celebrates Turning 100:
1912 - 2012.
This year's Centennial celebration includes the return of the downtown Pleasanton Parade, a brand new concert format, and a variety of distinctive memorabilia chronicling its 100 year history.
The first Alameda County Fair ran from October 23 to October 27, 1912. Local leaders sought to form a modern fair, and in 1939 the Alameda County Fair Association was born. Once considered a racing fair, the Alameda County Fair now boasts livestock and agriculture, thrilling carnival rides, beautiful quilt exhibits, baking contests, fast-paced horse racing, or simply a corn dog. Come join the celebration as the Alameda County Fair celebrates its 100th milestone.
Concert Format Change
One Free Concert Nightly, Show is at 7pm. Overflow seating will be on the Amphitheater Lawn featuring a brand new state of the art jumbo-tron screen.
