Welcome to California Exposition & State Fair

Expo Events

Venues as boundless as your imagination.
Cal Expo is a multi-faceted site that hosts hundreds of events each year. Featuring 350 beautifully landscaped acres, an exclusive caterer, 18 venues and an accomplished, dedicated staff, it’s no wonder Cal Expo is the facility of choice in the Sacramento region.

Incredible events accomplished daily. Imagine that.
Since it first opened in 1968, Cal Expo has been home to events of all shapes and sizes. With the ability to comfortably host 50 to 50,000 people the facility’s versatility and adaptability speaks for itself. A display of our vast experience includes events such as:

  • 1991, 1995 and 1999 Governor’s Inaugural Ball

  • Sacramento Jazz Jubilee

  • Cirque du Soleil

  • California State Fair

  • International Sportsman’s Exposition

Close to everything. Far from ordinary.
To make our out-of-town visitors feel at home, Cal Expo maintains partnerships with area hotels and can offer special rates for groups attending or hosting Cal Expo events.

We also have an onsite RV Park and are home to the new Raging Waters, a fun-filled water park complete with water slides and wave pool.

Cal Expo is also close to fine dining, retail centers and entertainment venues, so visitors have much to enjoy without needing to rely on personal transportation.
