The Caruthers Fair is the largest free-gate fair in California!! NO Admission Fees!! I grew up going to this fair and it still has a small town feel and a safe environment fair located in the small community of Caruthers, CA, just south of Fresno, CA. It is mainly funded by Fair Queen Contestants selling raffle tickets for a new car! This year it is a Ford Mustang! The stand out to this Fair is all the food booths that are operated by churches, schools, and other non-profit organizations!
All the food is diversified and home-made delicious!! Come support these organizations and have some diversity of home-made pies, aebleskiver, tri-tip dinners, pizza, fresh corn on the cob, turkey leg, teriyaki chicken, hamburgers, nachos, carne asada!! There is a small Midway that covers enough rides and Ferris wheel! There are local vendors selling their hand crafted merchandise and jewelry. All friendly people! They have exhibit buildings for art and horticulture. Since it's a Country fair there are tractors and farm equipment! It's a 4 day fair at the end of September Wednesday thru Saturday and a Parade on Saturday!! People are Friendly, Food is Good! Live Music! read more
