SISQFair Theme for 2024 “Country Fair with a Golden Flare”

The 2024 Siskiyou Golden Fair “COUNTRY FAIR WITH A GOLDEN FLARE” will run August 7-11, 2024 in Yreka.

YREKA – The 10^th District Agricultural Association Board of Directors selected the Siskiyou Golden Fair theme “Country Fair with a Golden Flare” for our August 7-11, 2024 fair. Each year we have a contest to get the community involved in the process and for 2024 Hailey Winter from Grenada submitted the selected theme.

The theme sets in motion all areas of fair preparation and we are excited to begin the planning process for 2024. “Our annual fair has showcased Siskiyou County since 1859, an amazing 165 years in 2024”

“The annual fair has been an exhibit of the culture, heritage and history of all that is from our communities and we are proud of the traditions that are part of the annual fair” 

stated CEO Cliff Munson

The theme is used to create many still exhibits, feature booths and entries in most every department. Country Fair with a Golden Flare promises to be another great year and we hope everyone in our community takes the opportunity to create a memory while taking part in our annual fair.
