We Are Your Nevada County Fair
Despite the cancellation of the 2020 Nevada County Fair, we are still here. We are your Nevada County Fairgrounds. We are your Nevada County Fair.
Established in 1884, the Nevada County Fair is one of the county’s oldest community institutions. Adaptability and innovation are part of our history. During WWII, the Fair was canceled for several years, the Draft Horse Classic was displaced during the 49er Fire, and now the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic will be part of our story. We will prove, as we have time and again, that as a Fairgrounds and as a community we are stronger together.
The cancellation of the Fair, as well as the hundreds of events that have been cancelled at the Fairgrounds due to COVID-19, has had a huge financial impact on the community. To help the Fairgrounds, you can donate, advocate, or join the Fairgrounds Foundation in support of the Nevada County Fairgrounds. Visit here to learn more.
Except for service dogs, no dogs or other pets are allowed on the grounds during events. Pets providing emotional support, well-being, comfort or companionship are not recognized as service animals under ADA regulations and are not permitted.
