County fair returns to San Mateo this June

  • 2021-04-14
The San Mateo County Fair is taking place for two days in June.

This year's theme is "Where tradition meets innovation." Only a certain number of people will be allowed in at one time so there will be timed entry. Tickets will only be sold online, and masks are mandatory.

Organizers are still calling for arts and crafts vendors, exhibitors, and makers of all kinds to register to take part in the fair.

There will be several competitions of all kinds including floral art, fine arts, literary arts, gardening, and agriculture. A special Creative Kids category will be included and participants will compete in cake decoration, hobby collections, creating writing, and quilting; this category is for children from pre-school up to Grade 12.

There will also be fun activities including midway rides and games, pig races, and barbecue food, with the event designed for people of all ages and interests.

Vendors participating in events like this often contact local banner printing firms. These companies can provide signage for vendors who will come from Hayward and other surrounding communities.

The fair will be held at the San Mateo County Event Center in San Mateo over the June 5 and 6 weekend. For the most current information about this event, or to become a vendor, visit the official website.
