Alameda County Agricultural Fair

The mission of the Alameda County Fair Association is to assure the long-term viability of the Alameda County
Fairgrounds, present an exceptional annual Fair that celebrates the heritage and diversity of Alameda County and
provide year-round opportunities for facility usage. We celebrate you!

The Alameda County Fair made its debut in Pleasanton in 1912 and has continued as a celebration of the heritage and diversity of the community for more than 100 years. It is ranked among the top 50 Fairs in the U.S. and has won numerous national and international industry awards.

The Fairgrounds is also home to the historic Pleasanton Race Track, the oldest, one-mile dirt track in America. Built-in 1858 by the Bernal family, the track originally served as a winter horse training facility. Over the years, some of California’s greatest racehorses including the legendary Seabiscuit were known to have trained at the property. Live horseracing at the meticulously maintained track remains one of the Fair’s flagship events.
