CELEBRATING 85 YEARS OF FAMILY FUN!

Summer 2023 in Placer County started with record-breaking attendance and perfect summer weather at the 85th Annual Placer County Fair @the Grounds in Roseville! With paid attendance up 69% from 2022, this event truly captivated the local community and surrounding areas. Fairgoers had no shortage of things to see and do at the Placer County Fair, with new events such as the NASCAR races, fireworks, epic concerts, & best of all, an improved fairgrounds layout.

This year, strategic changes transformed the fairgrounds, making the Roebbelen Center the vibrant hub of the Fair. The new 160,000 sq ft event venue allowed fairgoers to check out the commercial vendors, Family Fun Zone, Cornhole Tournament, and live entertainment, all inside the comfortable air-conditioned space. Additionally, bringing the carnival closer added to the Fair's improved layout.

Marketing efforts created a lot of excitement around the Fair, with attendee numbers soaring on Saturday and Sunday. This overwhelming response brought unforeseen challenges in parking and a sold-out Rib Cook-off. Our team swiftly addressed these hurdles, finding solutions to continue to create a positive experience for fairgoers.

This year's Fair still proved to be a success, showcasing a variety of entertainers and live music, unlike any other year. The Spazmatics, The Outlaw Mariachi, Wonder Bread 5, and Adam Aldama & the Aces rocked out at the Attaway Pavilion. In addition to the epic concerts, other fan favorites included the unique food and beverage options at the Fair. With more diverse options than any year prior, such as Ceviche from Ray's Miches & Shrimp and Woodfired Pizza from Benji's Woodfire Pizza, attendees enjoyed fair classics and explored new flavors.

Thank you to the community for making the 85th Placer County Fair the best and most remarkable Fair to date. The success of this year's Fair serves as a testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff, volunteers, and support from our local sponsors. Join us next year, from June 20-23, as we keep the momentum going and prepare for an even more unforgettable Placer County Fair!
