Alameda County Fair 2025 (June 13-July 6)

The Alameda County Fair returns to Pleasanton June 13-July 6, 2025, for a jam-packed season of summer fun, featuring thrilling rides, delicious fair food, live concerts, and exciting shows for all ages. Enjoy free nightly performances from big-name artists as part of the Big O Tires Concert Series, plus a stunning Fireworks + Drone Show that lights up the sky with 200+ synchronized drones and fireworks set to music (select nights at 9:30 PM).

Fairgoers can catch action-packed Monster Truck shows, FMX stunt performances, and fair favorites like the All-Alaskan Racing Pigs, petting zoo, Kids Carnival, and Midway rides and games. Explore hands-on exhibits, try a camel ride, or check out the NASCAR simulator in the Grandstand area. Movies on the Lawn offer a more relaxed evening vibe, and foodies will love special deals like $3 Fair Food Bites on Thursdays. New this year: a Labubu scavenger hunt with fun prizes for participants. From heart-pounding action to sweet summer traditions, there’s something for everyone at the Alameda County Fair!
