What are the general rules of California Mid-State Fair?
The California Mid State Fair provides a safe environment for families and all our guests, exhibitors, staff, volunteers, and partners. The Fair has a Public Safety Program intended for deterring unwanted activities on the fairgrounds. We are proactive in our desire to provide this positive experience. As a result, for everyones safety, all bags, purses, and personal belongings will be screened at entrance gates for contraband. Walk through and/or hand-held metal detecting wands will be in use by Fair staff at entry. No weapons, food, alcohol, or items defined below will be permitted on grounds: • Weapons of any kind (including, but not limited to guns, knives, pocketknives, stun guns, tasers, mace, pepper spray, tear gas, chains and or any other firearms or weapons) regardless of whether the guest holds a concealed weapons permit. • Narcotics or other illegal substances • Tobacco, cannabis products of any kind, vapes, and lighters are not permitted anywhere on the property. • No skateboards, hoverboards, inline skates, bicycles, kites, balls and frisbees. • No glass, aluminum cans, or outside alcohol. • No outside food or beverages allowed into the venue, including hydro flasks or other metal containers (filled or empty).
