Big Fresno Fair
Every year in October, Fresnans and the Central Valley get to celebrate our largest annual event — a BIG two-week long Fresno Fair. Big Fresno Fair is the 4th largest fair in California. The Central Valley farmers and businesses get to showcase and educate the residents about the region's rich agricultural heritage.
