We encourage everyone to enter a project or creation into one of the many Fair exhibits that are offered each year.

To ensure fair and equitable competition and to provide state-wide consistency, the California Department of Food & Agriculture’s Division of Fairs & Expositions creates the State Rules for California Fairs, containing all the rules and definitions you’ll need to know if you’ve never entered a competition in the Fair. The link below opens the 2024 State rule book.

For SDF entry information and guidelines, you refer to the  specific category below.

This has information and schedules for every exhibitor category the fair offers.
