To be fair, I have only attended music festivals there. Beautiful setting for live music. The camping area is clean and level until you get into the trees but that is to be expected. All in all a nice venue. Always curious why the local organizations that have permanent booths don't try to open for festivals though.

We went for the Celtic Festival as we happened to be in town that weekend. It was our first time to the fairgrounds there, but will not be our last. I am particularly looking forward to the 4th of July events there! I learned by watching others there to bring a wagon to carry your chairs/blankets etc. to sit on the lawn. Good tip for the future!! 🪑

I went to the Celtic Festival yesterday and had a great time. The setting of this fairground is unique because it feels an areas like you're in a forest. And yet the venue is great for having a stage with band that you can hear all around the grounds. It's just a great vibe.

I love Nevada County Fairgrounds. It's the most gorgeous fairgrounds in the USA 🇺🇸. We have many wonderful events like the Drafthorse Classic , our legendary Fair, many music festivals and the Celtic Fair. Plenty of clean bathrooms. Everything is mostly handicapp accessible with only a few areas that could use improvements.
