Explore the Thrilling 2024 California Mid-State Fair
Going strong since 1946, “The Biggest Little Fair Anywhere,” better known as the California Mid-State Fair, welcomes visitors from July 17-28 in Paso Robles.
Whether you live in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, or Arroyo Grande, enjoy the beautiful coastal views on your easy drive to the fairground.
No need to lug bulky surfboards and camping gear from storage for this summer fun. Just grab your friends and have a blast celebrating our community’s diverse culture and agricultural heritage.
With concerts, a carnival, outrageous food, a rodeo, and contests, who could ask for more! There’s truly something for everyone.
Concerts
Have we got an all-star lineup for you!
From Miranda Lambert to Brad Paisley, Jelly Roll to the Zac Brown Band, Carin Leon to Sublime with Rome, and Nickelback to Cheap Trick, these headliners will have fans lining up in droves.
Music isn’t the only star here. Get ready for a night of laughs with Nate Bargatze!
Looking for more action? Saddle up for the Country Rodeo Finals or ride shotgun with the adrenalin-pumping Monster Truck Show.
Contests
What would a fair be without contests? And when we say there’s something for everyone, we mean it!
Foodies will love the salsa-making contest and best baked apple pie competition. Anyone up for a refreshing watermelon-eating contest? Or is home brewing or winemaking more your thing?
Artists and crafters will appreciate the photography and themed scarecrow entries.
All this and so much more!
