Fair Season Ends
The Big Fresno Fair has had a fun run, but as of Oct. 16, 2017 it’s gone. Saying goodbye to the clowns, cotton candy and cows is a must for now, and with only a fair or two remaining in California fair season, it kinda’ feels like the party has left town.
Don’t despair — many fairgrounds keep a full schedule of activities, festivals and events so you can continue to visit the fairgrounds.
