Gold Circle Tickets are on sale now for one of the best concert lineups in the fair’s history. Visitors will see the Marshall Tucker Band, Air Supply, War, and Paramount’s Laser Spectacular (with visual effects to transport those in attendance to another dimension with the music of Pink Floyd). Evolution will offer an amazing tribute to Journey. Concerts are free with fair admission with the exception of the Gold Circle section.

One of the oldest events in San Mateo, the fair still catches everyone’s attention with culinary demonstrations, fine arts, garden shows, equestrian competitions, and more. Of course, many end the night gazing down on the city lights from the top of the ferris wheel.

The fairgrounds are at 1346 Saratoga Drive, four miles southeast of the exciting new community at 888 San Mateo. Contact us today at 855-805-6160 for more information on these new rental homes on the Peninsula.
