  • The El Dorado County Fair is held in Placerville, California, every Father's Day weekend. The annual event opens on the third Thursday in June and concludes on the following Sunday evening. Started in 1859, the El Dorado County Fair includes four days of exhibitions, contests, competitions, concerts, carnival rides, food, and more. Attractions include the junior livestock auction, and exhibits, featuring items such as photography, food, artwork, homemade wine and homebrew, which are on display throughout the fair's four-day run. Friday night events in the grandstands usually consist of Mutton Bustin' and Humpz and Hornz bull riding. Other activities include cooking demonstrations, free children's workshops, and games for all ages hosted by Flo the Clown, such as: funnel cake eating contests, a bean spitting contest, and big wheels races. The annual John M. Studebaker Championship Wheelbarrow Races take place on Sunday evening in the grandstands. The father and child look-a-like contest takes place on the main stage Sunday as part of the Father's Day activities. Previous El Dorado County Fair sponsors include Home Depot, Gold Country Ace Hardware & Hobbies, among others. The fair was cancelled in 1917–1918 due to World War I, and in 1942–1945 because of World War II. The event was also cancelled in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. The upcoming fair is scheduled for June 15 - 18, 2023. (en)
