Saving our Petaluma Fairgrounds

The City of Petaluma is thrilled to share that the annual Sonoma-Marin Fair is here to stay! The City of Petaluma was proud to be a Sponsor of this year's Fair, and we look forward to hosting again in 2025.

The City has now assumed property and event management on the Fairgrounds property to make much-needed repairs and provide our community with greater access to this 55-acre jewel at the heart of Petaluma.

Local management of our Fairgrounds means all the events Petalumans know and love will continue (including the annual fair and speedway races). Residents will also enjoy greater access to the property in the form of parks and open spaces, facilities rentals for the community, bike and pedestrian paths, a farmers’ market and more.  It also means that Petaluma can improve public safety and plan for the future.

Keep reading to learn more about what’s coming next – and how you can enjoy the Fairgrounds throughout the year.
