A look back at the 75th Annual Salinas Valley Fair

The 75th Annual Salinas Valley Fair was packed with entertainment, livestock, youth exhibits and displays of the area’s rich agricultural heritage and abundance at the fairgrounds in King City.

Under the theme “Farm to Fable,” this year’s fair attracted nearly 30,000 people and featured the annual Junior Livestock Auction, which grossed $2.2 million for local 4-H and FFA members.

There was something for everyone during the

fair’s four-day run, from May 16 to 19, including the daily carnival that featured many rides and games, live­stock competitions, unique crafts and gift vendors, various food booths and the educational STEM-based Imagination Gallery.

Other activities included the amateur talent contest, wine tasting, live music, bull riding, dog and pig races, eating contests, truck pulls, car races and pro wrestling.
