Now, the Alameda County Fair Foundation is embarking on a capital campaign to raise the funds needed to build. Grants, industry partnerships, in-kind donations, and sponsorships will be key to the timely construction of this amazing facility.
Dedication opportunities are now available for the first phases of The Farm. Contact foundation@alamedacountyfair.com to discuss opportunities for naming rights.
And of course, the ongoing support of our community is essential. Donate now, in any amount:
