Something Ridiculous At The 2017 Calaveras County Fair

Angels Camp, CA…Get ready to laugh out loud! These guys will be everywhere at the 2017 Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee, May 18-21. Funny to the core, these two are absolutely ridiculous.

The Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Frog Jubilee is one of the longest running events in the State of California. Its earliest roots date back to 1893, held that year in Copperopolis, the fair eventually found a permanent home outside of Angels Camp. In the spirit of the old movie classic “State Fair,” the Calaveras County Fair is a blend of entertainment, exhibits, livestock, arena events, great food and our signature event, the Frog Jump.

Today, few events illustrate the gold rush era as well as the Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee. Every May, the entire community celebrates its history and its future. The tradition of county residents showing off their best still holds true today. In 2014 the Calaveras County Fair had more than 7000 exhibits. The junior livestock auction generated over $380,000 for the county’s youth.

The Calaveras County Fair and Jumping Frog Jubilee has grown to an event with more than 35,000 attendees. It is estimated that the Calaveras County Fair generates approximately 5.5 million dollars in revenues through hotels, restaurants, retail, payroll and other related businesses throughout the community. This piece of Americana will have you Leaping to return year after year.
