EL
DORADO COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS
Located just off Highway 50 near Placerville, the El
Dorado County Fairgrounds is host to year round recreational
activities. Our theme is always FUN, and the FUN begins
the third week in June with the annual County Fair and its
traditional 4-H and FFA livestock shows, exhibits that run
the gamut of human interest, brightly lit carnival rides,
the International Studebaker Wheelbarrow Races, motorized
events, musical groups to please all members of the family,
and all the food you can eat, from corn dogs to egg rolls.
