California Mid-State Fair

California Mid-State Fair Logo

July 16-27, 2025

Each summer, The California Mid-State Fair becomes the place to be in SLO CAL (San Luis Obispo County). For twelve days, fair attendees can enjoy everything from unique exhibits to unique eats. Kids of all ages will love the two separate carnival areas with traditional rides and the Cub Country, a carnival dedicated to toddlers and young children. Check out the tractor races, diaper dash, pig races and so much more. When the sun goes down and the air starts to cool, live music shines. The fair has hosted the music industry's greatest from Aerosmith and Tom Petty, Blake Shelton and Garth Brooks to Justin Bieber and The Chainsmokers.
