The Marin County Fair returns to San Rafael July 2- July 6. This year's theme is BUG-TASTIC! - and will celebrate all things creepy, crawly, sticky, prickly, wiggly, flittery, fluttery, buzzy, and everything in between.
This ultimate "bugfest" will be filled with activities that highlight insects, spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, and more, from competitive exhibits, hands-on art projects, entertainment, education, and fairground décor, all while providing a great opportunity for families to have a good time and develop a love of nature.
The fair will also include favorites such as the juried fine arts and photography exhibit, concerts, free carnival rides, sheepdog trials, a petting zoo, pig races, fireworks every night at 9:30pm, and more. The Competitive Exhibits contests will be expanded with special categories including bug themed arts & crafts, decorated cakes and cookies, beer and wine making, jams, jellies, honey, hobby arts, and much more.
