All The Good Stuff at the 2023 Madera Fair

MADERA, CA, August 21, 2023 - Get ready for thrilling fun, oodles of fair food, and a loaded entertainment line-up as the Madera Fair, proudly presented by Valley Children's Healthcare, returns for another spectacular year of family-friendly amusement September 7th - 10th. This year's event, easily considered one of Madera County's largest parties, is set to be bigger and better than ever, offering a wide range of attractions, including midway rides, a nightly drone show, and live entertainment. 


Brace yourself for a fantastic selection of exhilarating rides suitable for thrill-seekers and little ones. From classic carousels and Ferris Wheels to heart-pounding favorites like the Zipper, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The Madera Fair's food lineup is diverse and bigger than ever, ensuring that your tastebuds embark on a journey of pure indulgence. Enjoy classic fair treats like corndogs and funnel cakes as well as more unique delicacies including deep-fried Oreos and donut-built cheeseburgers. 


Prepare to be entertained by an impressive lineup of live performances across multiple stages and around the grounds, including magicians, hula hoopers, jugglers, ventriloquists, community acts, and more. The 20/30 Party Stage offers live music with a dancefloor twice a night, featuring tribute bands consisting of Bad Jovi, Uptown Funk (a tribute band to Bruno Mars), Violin on Fire (Valley native Patrick Contreras), and Cumbia favorite La Sonora San Jose. 


The 2023 Table Mountain Concert Series, presented by Estrella Jalisco, promises to be an unforgettable musical experience for attendees of all ages. Smash Mouth opens the fair on Thursday, September 7th, Tesla takes the stage on Friday, September 8th, Chase Rice performs on Saturday, September 9th and La Séptima Banda and Noel Torres close out the concert series on Sunday, September 10th. This eclectic mix of top-tier artists is FREE to enjoy with paid gate admission, and the festival-style venue provides open seating, rentable lawn chairs, and a perfect open-air atmosphere under the night sky. 


Each night as the headline concert closes, the skies above the Madera Fairgrounds will come alive with an electric drone show that lights up the night! Watch in awe as the synchronized fleet of drones dazzles the night with a display of lights in sync with a base-filled soundtrack at the center of the grounds.
