The tradition of county residents showing off their best still holds true today. In 2002 the Calaveras County Fair had more than 7000 exhibits. The junior livestock auction generated over $350,000 for the county’s youth.

The Internationl Jousting Championships
Date: September 27 – 28, 2008
Step back to a time where armored knights traveled the countryside competing for fortune and fame. Sit down at one of the outdoor stages and enjoy a performance by one of the faire's stage acts - juggling perhaps? Magic? Fire eating? Browse the faire's vendors and see wares from clothing and jewelry to swords and armor. Then grab a drink and head to the jousting arena, where you'll see some of the world's top competitors fighting for a piece of the prize purse (and maybe some bragging rights).
Join us this year as we grow into new site with more of everything than last year. More music, more actors, a bigger village, and of course, hard-hitting, lance-splitting jousting.
