The experience
What's special
The Alameda County Fair fills the Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton from June into July every summer. Nightly Big O Tires concerts at 8 PM play the Cuervo Amphitheater, where reserved seats are ticketed but bleacher seats and the Michelob Ultra Concert Lawn, with its Jumbotron, are free with admission. The 2026 grandstand ran a Demolition Derby, monster trucks, Arena Cross Nationals and truck and tractor pulls, and the nights ended with a drone show and July 4 fireworks. By day there are livestock and small animals in the Safeway Barn, a petting zoo, racing pigs, pony rides, a Junior Livestock Auction on the final day, corgi races, a wine competition and a carnival with a Sky Ride.
How it works
The 2027 fair runs June 18 to July 11. Admission is $17.60 in advance until June 17, 2027 and $19.80 at fairtime, with children and seniors at $14.30 and $16.50, children 5 and under and active military free, and processing fees included. A Black Friday sale cuts general admission to $14.40 from November 23 to December 1, and season passes start at $52.80.
