The Alameda County Fair returns to Pleasanton, running June 13 – July 6. As always the fair includes carnival rides, carnival food and shopping vendors, special festivals Fiesta at the Fair (June 22) Blues at the Fair (June 29), rodeos, stunt and drone shows and livestock competitions.
The Safeway Barn project, which broke ground in fall 2024, will open to the public for the first time during the 2025 Fair. The farm introduces children to local agriculture, housing hatching chicks, dairy cows, pigs and piglets and more. Currently in phase one, the barn will be a field trip destination.
Several new attractions will arrive for 2025: monster trucks from July 4 – 6, daily camel rides and new 45-foot-tall amusement park ride The Invader.
The Foodie’s Choice Awards Contest returns for 2025, letting fairgoers vote for their favorite unusual food from items like Cheeseburger Egg Roll and Bacon Pickle Pizza.
