Celebrate 175 years of history at this year's Placer County Fair, June 25-28
Roseville, Calif. – The County of Placer is proud to once again serve as the Presenting Sponsor of the 88th annual Placer County Fair, taking place June 25-28, 2026, @ The Grounds in Roseville.
As the county recognizes its 175th anniversary, the fair's theme of "Past, Present and Future" appropriately matches the historical sentiment. Placer County plans to have an expansive presence with staff representing more than a dozen county departments manning booths inside the Roebbelen Center.
We're also hosting a 360-degree video booth for participants to capture their presence at the fair, celebrating this historic milestone. All of the 360 videos will be included in a time capsule scheduled to be buried in the fall at the Historic Auburn Courthouse with an open date set for 2101, the county's 250th anniversary. The county has also committed to sponsoring the Rib Cook-off on Sunday, June 28.
Come celebrate the county's 175th anniversary at the fair, featuring four days of family-friendly entertainment, including carnival rides, live music, livestock exhibits, food vendors, agricultural displays, community showcases and more.
