Porterville Fair Opens Today!

Today marks the first day for general admission to the 2015 Porterville Fair. An experience at the fair will greet you with a cacophony of animal sounds mixed with carnival rides and vendors yelling 
"Get your funnel cakes!"...

The Porterville Fair was established in 1948, marking 66 years as a "Community Tradition" for us locals; and a valid excuse to eat deep-fried anything that we can get our hands on. While the fair's location has changed several times since 1948 it has found it's current home on the 25 acres located near the Porterville Airport.

While there are many city and county fairs across this great state of California, our Porterville fair is one of the few that is a "Not for Profit" organization and receives no State or Federal funding.

There are several Fair Packages that you can purchase that will provide different amenities. With prices starting at $100 which include 5 Fair admission tickets + 1 Five-Day parking pass and more; all the way up to a $1000 package which includes 10 Fair admission tickets, 2 Five-Day parking passes and more. Check out the complete list of Fair Packages available
