Gold Country Fair
The Gold Country Fairground lies in the peaceful foothills of Placer County, known for its Gold Rush discovery. The fairgrounds are located just off of interstate 80 in the city of Auburn.

The American River runs through Placer County, which offers white water rafting, kayaking or just a day of relaxing fun. There are also many beautiful trails to take a walk down or ride your horse. For more water fun, a day in the sun, or if you enjoy boating Folsom Lake is also located in Placer County. Looking to travel in the winter? Don’t worry, Placer County is not only a summer county.
