Over 75 years, the Contra Costa County Fair has hosted hundreds of thousands of guests. The Fairgrounds celebrate all that is best in Contra Costa County while preserving the community's agricultural heritage.
Contra Costa County Fairgrounds
1201 West 10th St., Antioch | 925.757.4400
If your coming to the fair and prefer a sit-down dining experience I suggest Celia's Mexican Restaurant or Smith's Seafood Landing. Both are very close to the fairgrounds, offer good food, cocktails and service.

The choices here are obvious. It's going to be a strolling, shopping, wine day. Will it be in Antioch, Lafayette, or Rodeo? The best wine deal is in Antioch with many local wineries represented, but the allure of the sea also beckons me...
