Ready for some mutton bustin’, bronco riding, trick roping, dancing horses, and bull riding?

Join us at the Monterey County Fair Aug. 31 -Sept. 5, a celebration of our county’s bountiful aquaculture and agriculture.

Besides cotton candy, corn dogs and carnival rides, there will be livestock, gardening, arts and crafts and cooking exhibitions, “cowboy bootcamps” for the kids, clowns, magicians, rodeos… and even a cake and ice cream eating contest.

Enjoy live music, from country star Lee Brice to rock ‘n roll by Blue Oyster Cult and fantastic funk from WAR. And if you’re over 21, The Turf Club Patio features microbrews, wine tastings and “After Parties” nightly at the Dive Bar.

Tickets are available online at http://www.montereycountyfair.com.
