Find Fun at the Fair

The first Sonoma-Marin Fair (called the Sonoma-Marin Cultural Fair) was held in 1936, and has happened every year since, except for during World War II—and the COVID shutdown. Post-pandemic, the fair is now offering an array of activities: carnival rides, the popular World’s Ugliest Dog Contest, and live bands, including Grammy-winning Switchfoot and Grammy-nominated Gavin Degraw. The fair will run June 21–25 at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in Petaluma. Admission is $15–$22; parking is $12; bands are free with admission.
