Humboldt County Fair

One of California’s longest-running fairs, the Humboldt County Fair in historic Ferndale is small-town Americana at its best. This year’s theme is “It's No Time Like Fair Time” and features exciting days of horse racing on weekends. With entertainment, carnival rides, fair food, handicrafts, art, livestock contests, horticulture, animals, and more, the Humboldt County Fair is fun for everyone!
