family ag day (formerly, Youth ag day)
Solano County Fair Family Ag Day moved to June 2023!
The Solano County Fair Association is excited to announce that to provide more opportunities for Solano County families to learn about agriculture, the Solano County Fair Family Ag Day has been scheduled for Thursday, June 15, 2023, and will be held in conjunction with the 74th Annual Solano County Fair. Despite the change in timing, the focus of the event will remain the same: to educate our youth, & honor the farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers who contribute so much to our daily lives. The 2023 Family Ag Day promises to be an unforgettable celebration of agriculture in Solano County.
We hope that you will join us to celebrate and learn more about the dedication of Solano County’s farm families and the bounty they produce. Family Ag Day (6/15/23) is FREE for the whole family!
