Some go for the food. Others for the live music. Some for the horse racing. And many for the shopping!

Some go for the food. Others for the live music. Some for the horse racing. And many for the shopping! At fairs throughout the US the grounds and building are filled with local and traveling vendors selling their products from the latest slicer and dicer, to handmade candles and jewelry, to hats and so much more!

 

At The Big Fresno Fair we fill two whole buildings, as well as part of our grounds with these amazing vendors, many of which are family-owned, small businesses.  They are a key part of the fair experience and we are grateful for them. And we know each of the 175 fairs throughout the nation are too!

 

Thank you to all our fair vendors. We know this year has been tough, but we will get through it together and we will hopefully see you all in October!

It’s another week of Fairgrounds Appreciation Month and today we’re highlighting food! Fair food is all a part of the experience when going to the Fair. From lobster fries to cinnamon rolls, it’s something we all love to indulge in! Many of our favorite food concessionaires have been greatly affected and have lost work from the recent cancellation of Fairs, but luckily we’ve been able to help support some of our local Fair food concessionaires with our most recent drive-thru event of “Fair Food Feature!” Even though we’re just giving a small taste of Fair food now, we hope to have them back again in October for the 2020 Big Fresno Fair!
