Santa Clara County Fairgrounds

The Santa Clara County Fairgrounds is an event venue in San Jose, California. The 165-acre (67 ha) fairgrounds has been owned by the County of Santa Clara since 1940 and is operated by the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds Management Corporation, a public-benefit nonprofit corporation.

Since 1941, the fairgrounds has been the site of the annual Santa Clara County Fair. At its peak in the mid-20th century, the fairgrounds hosted over 1.4 million people annually in public and private events. However, attendance declined throughout the 1990s and by 2003 had fallen to around 850,000.
