About The Marin County Fair

For 83 years, the Marin County Fair has been where our community comes together to celebrate, to create, and to connect. It’s where cultures meet, where local agriculture and environmental stewardship take center stage, and where memories are made across generations.

This year, as the nation marks America’s 250th anniversary, we’re honoring the voices, traditions, and experiences that have shaped who we are with our 2026 theme: Stars, Stripes & Stories.

We’re proud to be a fair that looks forward while honoring tradition. That means a commitment to sustainability in everything we do, from zero-waste initiatives to reusable foodware, and a safe, welcoming environment where families and fairgoers of all ages can enjoy themselves.

From thrilling rides and world-class entertainment to hands-on exhibits and spectacular nightly fireworks, the Fair is five days of fun for everyone! Join us July 1 through 5 and bring your story with you.

Mission Statement

The Marin County Fair is committed to celebrating community, creativity, and sustainability through an inclusive and innovative experience that honors tradition while embracing the future. We strive to provide a safe and fun environment for all ages where diverse cultures, arts, agriculture, and environmental stewardship come together to inspire, educate, and entertain. Through engaging exhibits, thrilling entertainment, and meaningful community partnerships, we aim to create lasting memories and strengthen the spirit of Marin County.
