So thankful to this wonderful partner to create such an inclusive space.

This is exactly why we created the Healthy Petaluma Community Relaxation Lounge. Fair days can be long, hot, loud, and overwhelming, especially for children and families. Sometimes what people need most isn’t entertainment or activity. It’s a quiet place to breathe, cool down, recharge, and feel safe enough to close their eyes for a little while.

Seeing these two peacefully sleeping reminded us that even the smallest comforts can make the biggest difference. Thank you to everyone who helped make this space possible. This is why we are here.

✨ BIG things are happening at the fairgrounds! ✨

We are officially less than two weeks away from the 2026 Fair, and the energy around here is electric. Over the last couple of months, incredible city staff and a small army of dedicated livestock parents have volunteered countless hours to give our buildings and grounds some major love.
We aren't spoiling the surprises just yet, but here is a little sneak peek of what’s in store… 😉🎬

To everyone that volunteered and lent a hand: THANK YOU. We couldn't do this without our amazing community. We absolutely cannot wait to welcome you all through the gates June 18th–21st! 🎡🍿
