Santa Clara County Fair Kicks Off In Scaled-Back Form
Typically, the fair would feature carnival rides and other activities, but instead the focus will be on the livestock exhibits.
SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CA — The Santa Clara County Fair began Friday in a scaled-back version from what organizers originally planned, but still features livestock evaluation and a hybrid auction.
The original plan, announced earlier this year, included a drive-thru food fair, but the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds are still being used as a COVID-19 testing and vaccination site. Due to recent heightened concerns over the coronavirus, the site remains active.
The fairs schedule is below:
