Expect horse racing, livestock shows, 4-H competitions, local food and craft vendors, and the distinctive Victorian small-town atmosphere of Ferndale's charming main street.

Good to Know

Ferndale is one of California's best-preserved Victorian villages — the fair is set against a backdrop of ornate "Butterfat Palaces" (Victorian farmhouses) unique to this dairy region.
