The Siskiyou County Fair began as an agricultural show in Fort Jones in 1859, moved to Yreka in 1867, became the 10th District Agricultural Association in 1926 and was renamed the Siskiyou Golden Fair in 1952 when a second fair, the Tulelake-Butte Valley Fair was created.
Agricultural roots run deep in Siskiyou County and the Siskiyou Golden Fair each August is a chance to showcase our history, heritage and culture. The 2012 Siskiyou Golden Fair "Fun in the Mountain Sun" will continue that long tradition.
The fairgrounds are available for activities of all kinds the other 50 weeks per year and serve as a command center for natural disasters, the base for county drive through health clinics, weddings and family gatherings, auto racing, rodeos, roping and horse shows, birthday parties, community swap meets and the fair sponsored, Sportsmen's Expo, Holiday Gift Faire, Haunted House and Golden Jackpot Show.
Your fairgrounds is here for you to enjoy!
