Just added to the concert series: Spazmatics Friday 6/3 at 9pm after the Lost Boys.


We have a concert series you won't want to miss and we just made it better with another band in the line-up.

If you want to be sent back to the 80’s, The Spazmatics are the ultimate experience. The band lends it’s geeky charm to performing 80’s hits complete with “nerdography” and “spaztic” movements. They add a unique dimension to their performance, demonstrating the common ties between 80’s new wave and today’s popular music. In addition to a recently filmed national commercial for Comcast, The Spazmatics have been regularly featured at top nightclubs and perform for many of the highest level private events in the United States, including a performance at The White House for President George W. Bush, as well as for celebrity Jessica Simpson's birthday bash.

Check out our full line up at www.contracostafair.com/fair.

Your Ticket to Fun


Are you already looking forward to the fun you’ll have at the Contra Costa County Fair this summer? Be sure to check out these fun acts included with your Fair admission!


The Movie Stunt Adventure. An incredible and interactive attraction where you can be the STAR!



Kids Pedal Tractor Pull. It's not everyday a kid gets a chance to become a star of a show, unless of course they're at the Kids Pedal Tractor Pull Competitions!





Play With Gravity. Spectators will be amazed by their motorcycle show in which riders overcome obstacles on the motorcycles using control, balance, and fitness.




A World Of Music. A totally ‘hands-on’ museum of music. These unique, unusual and historical instruments come from all corners of the globe for everyone to experience AND experiment with!




Fables of the West . This strolling cowboy comedy team is always 100 % G-rated, family friendly, and fun.




Dr. Solar’s Good-Time, Sunshine Traveling Medicine Show. In his Traveling Medicine Show, Dr. Solar has blended nostalgic arts of times past, added a bit of old-time Medicine show flair, a blend of vaudevillian showmanship, comedy, magic, a little flim-flam, and a whole lot of pizzazz.




There is so much to see and do at the Fair happening June 2 -5, you’ll need to check out the full schedule, admission prices and hours online at http://www.contracostafair.com/!
