The California State Fair (CSF) is the annual state fair for the state of California. The fair is held at Cal Expo in Sacramento, California. The Fair is a 17-day event showcasing California's industries, agriculture, and diversity of people. The CSF features blue-ribbon animal displays, culinary delights and competitions, live music concerts, a carnival, fireworks, and other family fun.[3] In 2018, officials reported daily attendance drew between 20,000 and 60,000 people per day and about $8.5 million of food and beverage expenditures.[4] The fair is policed by the California Exposition and State Fair Police.

CSF did not convene for the 2020 and 2021 seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic in California, which caused direct losses of approximately $16 million in revenue and impacted over 800 seasonal workers. During these years, the Cal Expo site served as a temporary Covid-19 testing site, homeless trailer site, and a go-to partner during the state's battle with wildfires.[5]
