California Mid-State Fair

About California Mid-State Fair

The California Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles is a 12-day Central Coast celebration in the heart of California's wine country, drawing visitors from San Luis Obispo County and beyond for top-tier entertainment and agricultural competition. Established in 1946, the fair has brought California communities together for generations.

What to Expect

Visitor Tips

The Mid-State Fair concert lineup is consistently one of the best in California fair entertainment — book tickets early, as shows sell out fast. Paso Robles wine country surrounds the fairgrounds.
