Frequently Asked Questions
Are dogs allowed at the faire?
No, sorry. Most dogs are great and would have a great time at the faire, but we can't really enforce a "good dogs only" (or a "responsible owners only") policy - there's just no way to tell. So sorry, no dogs, except for assistance animals.
I bought advance tickets for one day, but found out I can only come the other day. Can I still use my ticket?
Sure. If you got a Saturday ticket you can use it on Sunday. If you bought a Sunday ticket then you can go to a ticket window and pay the $5 difference in the advance price and use it on Saturday.
Do you have a phone number?
We have an information line with recorded information only. If you need to contact us to ask a question then email is much better. Our email address is faireteam@gmail.com
Where can I park at the new site?
There are two parking lots at the fairgrounds for paid parking, $10. The lots fill up fast, so get there early. You can usually find free parking on Forest Street across from the fairgrounds as well, but be sure to obey any posted parking restrictions about parking in front of businesses and such.
We will be running a free shuttle from downtown Sonora and a local parking area. We'll post details closer to the event. Given the overwhelming popularity of the shuttle in 2011, we'll be running bigger and/or more frequent busses for 2012.
