Fairgrounds Closed to the Public During PSPS

Due to the public safety power shutoff, the Fairgrounds are closed to the public until further notice. The dump station in the RV Park will also be closed during this time.

Additionally, the Altar Show in the Northern Mines Building (scheduled dates of 10/26 – 11/3) will not be open during the power outage, but please plan to come visit the show after the Fairgrounds reopens to the public.

We understand the frustration of those who enjoy spending time on the Fairgrounds, but public safety and the protection of the facility are our top priorities. We look forward to reopening as soon as conditions permit.

New Pergola at Lions Lake

A huge thank you to Zachary Wernke for building this beautiful pergola for the community to enjoy while visiting Lions Lake. Zach, who built the pergola for his Eagle Scout Project, chose to do work at the Fairgrounds because the grounds represent a big part of his childhood. He’s spent years volunteering, attending events and showing animals at the Fair and he has many happy memories here. He said he is proud of the project and to be able to give back to the community. Thank you, Zachary, for your hard work and service!

Innergrounds Open to the Public

Power is on at the Fairgrounds! We have reopened the inner grounds to the public, but please use Gate 5.

PG&E is utilizing Gate 1 and the Gate 1 Parking Lot as a staging area for crews and equipment, so those areas remain closed to the public until further notice.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during the power outage.
