2019 FAIR EDUCATION PROGRAM

SUPPORTING THE FAIR’S MISSION TO CELEBRATE, EDUCATE AND HAVE FUN!

The Big Fresno Fair is excited for the 27th annual Fair Education Program at the 2019 Big Fresno Fair, put on in collaboration with the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools and presented by Meyers Water Bank & Wildlife Project, EECU and Fresno County Transportation Authority Measure C.

It has always been the mission of the Fair to educate, celebrate and have fun! During the past 26 years, more than 480,000 Fresno County students and their teachers have participated in this educational field trip that bridges the gap between rural and urban life – exposing students to the rich and diverse agriculture that powers our region, as well as the history of Fresno County and its talented residents!

The Fair Education Program allows Fresno County public, private and home schooled kindergarten through eighth grade students to visit the Fair FREE of charge in an educational setting. The 2019 Fair Education Program dates are Thursday, October 3; Friday, October 4; Thursday, October 10; and Friday, October 11.

To maximize the students’ experience at the Fair, classes that have signed up receive a special packet in advance which includes common core standard-based curriculum and suggested activities to integrate into classroom work prior to their educational field trip. Additionally, information about the Fair’s history, new attractions, exhibits, livestock and more, including a tour map, are provided.
