The Big Fresno Fair
The Big Fresno Fair is a horse-racing track in Fresno, California, United States. It opened in 1884 at Chance Ave.
History
Since 1884, the track was established by a group of local businessmen and professionals who served on the Farm Bureau and Chamber of Commerce, owned by Fresno County and leased to the Fair under a 50-year land lease that allows it to continue to operate. Then in 1941, pari-mutuel wagering came to Fresno. It is one of the first in the country to offer race calls in both English and Spanish and the fifth-largest Fair in the State of California. It also represents the 21st District Agricultural Association, an entity of the California Department of Food and Agriculture Division of Fairs & Expositions.
Moreover, Fresno Fairgrounds also hosts more than 250 annual events such as conventions, trade shows, and banquets in Fresno, California. It also exhibits livestock shows, live horse racing, musical entertainment, educational programs, and more.
This track’s unique mission is to “Educate, Celebrate and Have Fun”. The reason why it provides a link between urban and rural California, serving as a tool to educate visitors on the region’s rich agricultural industry.
