Since 1921
A little history
The Trinity County Fair was first held in 1921. In July 2026 the Fair marked its 105th year with the theme "105 Years of Country Cheer." Generations of Trinity County families have shown livestock, entered quilts and photographs, walked in the parade, and met their neighbors on these grounds.
The Trinity County Fair Association is a nonprofit community organization. Its stated mission is to provide for the management of the Trinity County Fair and year-round use of the fairgrounds in the best interest of the people of Trinity County and its rural county values, by partnering with county agencies and businesses, promoting agriculture and education, and maximizing available resources.
