The Petaluma Fair, June 18–21: Carnival Rides, Fair Food & Family Memories
Marin Mommies presents a sponsored shout-out for the 2026 Petaluma Fair, June 18–21.
Summer starts now in Petaluma! The 2026 Petaluma Fair returns June 18 through 21 with four unforgettable days of family fun, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food, and beloved fair traditions in the heart of Sonoma County.
Rooted in Petaluma’s rich agricultural heritage, this year’s “Past, Present, and Future Luma” theme celebrates the community spirit and farm traditions that have made the Fair a local favorite for generations. Families with younger children will love the dedicated Kids Carnival, featuring rides and attractions designed especially for little ones, while the Main Carnival offers bigger thrills and excitement for older kids, teens, and anyone young at heart. Guests can also explore livestock exhibits, hands-on experiences, games, and entertainment for all ages.
And when it comes to food, the Petaluma Fair delivers far beyond traditional fair favorites. Alongside funnel cakes, corn dogs, and cotton candy, guests can explore amazing local food vendors — including the Clover Ice Cream Truck serving up sweet Sonoma County treats all weekend long. Families can also recharge at the Community Relaxation Lounge during the excitement.
Whether you’re planning a Bay Area road trip, a family outing, or the perfect kickoff to summer, the Petaluma Fair delivers a fun-filled escape with small-town charm and big summer energy.
