About Sierra County Fair
The Sierra County Fair in Downieville celebrates one of California least populous counties — a Gold Rush river canyon county where Downieville perches at the confluence of two forks of the Yuba River, and world-class mountain biking has replaced gold mining as the primary reason visitors brave the winding canyon road.
What to Expect
Expect a small mountain fair with community exhibits, 4-H competitions, local artisan vendors, and the authentic spirit of a remote Sierra Nevada river canyon community.
Visitor Tips
Downieville is famous for its downhill mountain bike trail — one of the most challenging and celebrated singletrack descents in America. The Yuba River North Fork runs crystal clear through granite canyons below town.
