Live music, fireworks, fried foods and more will be coming to Pleasanton as the Alameda County Fair returns for its 2023 season starting this weekend.
The fair, which runs Wednesdays through Sundays from this Friday through July 9, will feature nightly concerts, drone shows and rides. Those attending the first weekend of the fair have a chance to enjoy the West Coast qualifiers for Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on Saturday at 3 p.m. or take part in"Out at the Fair," a Pride-themed event set for Sunday.
Attendees also have a chance to win up to $150,000 in the Pleasanton Mile stakes race on July 9. It is the largest prize ever offered for the horse race, which has been a staple of the fair since 1912. Fair food favorites like funnel cakes and deep-fried Oreos will return, along with new additions with international flair like Korean corn dogs, boba tea, and musubi rice snacks, according to a press release by fair organizers. For those seeking something not beer-battered or fried, healthy options like fresh fruits and salads will also be offered.
The fair is also hosting nightly concerts sponsored by Big O Tires including performances by well-known hip-hop and soul acts and bands as well as a number of cover bands and tribute acts. The shows are free with fair admission and there are also reserved club and floor seats
