Dixon May Fair

The Dixon May Fair returns, Thursday – Sunday, May 9 – 12, 2024, at the Dixon Fairgrounds with fun for all ages.

DIXON – The oldest Fair in California opens May 9-12 with all the excitement of carnival rides, live music, fair food and competition! Plenty of family-friendly entertainment awaits you, including the K-9 Kings flying Frisbee dogs, the Throw Zone, Hillis Hula Hoop Extraordinaire, and everyone’s bestie, Flo the Clown. Find community exhibits with everything from quilts and preserves to art, photos and gardens. An AG-tivity area will highlight farming activities, and Kids Town America is back with interactive exhibits–perfect for kids to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the fair, as well as a Sensory Station for any age over-stimulated guests, where you’ll find a calm space to regroup.

Find excitement in the Grandstand arena as both locals and visitors enter the Flying U Bull Riding (Friday), Tractor and Truck Pulls, (Saturday), and the Demolition Derby on Sunday. Tickets for these events traditionally sell out, so early purchase is recommended. Live music features Outlaw Mariachi, a tribute to Tom Petty, the Ariel Jean Band, Latin Touch, Robby James and the Streets of Bakersfield, and Rhythm Method Trio.

Following Saturday’s parade, the Picnic Lawn comes alive with the return of the Classic Car Show, and on Sunday a lineup of Latin Music featuring Alerta Maxima and Los Canarios de Michoacan will be featured.

Fair food is a once-a-year treat for most people, and there will be no lack of delicious treats to tempt you–from traditional corn dogs and curly fries to the famous rolled tacos.

For most, the fair isn’t the fair without a spin on one of the many carnival rides. Purchase a Smart Card and load it up for a worry-free ride experience on a selection of spectacular rides.
