FREE FAIR ENTERTAINMENT

FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

INCREDIBLY TALENTED HUMANS!

The circus is coming to the Fair! No lions, tigers, or elephants, but plenty of talented humans will be performing circus stunts of all kinds. Shows will include juggling, magic, acrobatics, hula hooping, giant bubble-making, amazing feats of balance and so much more. The line-up is completed by a troupe of racing farm animals, water-skiing squirrels, and a great circus dog! Your trip to the Fair this summer is going to require lots of planning. With circus acts all around the grounds, you need to pay close attention to the schedule to see them all.

Aug. 1 - Aug. 11, 4:30 to 6 p.m.
Bourbon Street Brass Band

The Sonoma County Fair’s Official Parade Band adds the excitement of live music to the daily (5 p.m.) parade. Bourbon Street brings the fun and funk of New Orleans Mardi Gras to life playing music that is instantly recognizable and makes you want to move! This year, in keeping with the Fair theme, the band has promised to add some circus tunes to their repertoire. Find out more about the Bourbon Street Brass Band!

Aug. 1 - Aug. 11, three shows a day.
Globe Of Death Squad

Johnny Obando’s Globe of Death Squad will thrill and amaze fairgoers of all ages with their best motorcycle stunts and aerial acrobatics. Three times a day, they enter the enormous metal sphere and defy gravity. It’s a sight to see, and you won’t want to miss it!  But take note – it’s also very loud! If you’ve ever seen a globe of death on television and wondered, this is your chance to get up close and see that this is the real deal!

Aug. 1 to Aug. 11, three shows a day.
Coventry & Kaluza plus 1

Traditional clowns, the type many people are afraid of, won’t be at the Fair this summer. Instead, you will see the new generation of clowns – funny, talented, and not scary!  At the top of our list are Coventry & Kaluza. Jamie Coventry is a harmonica addict and eccentric juggler. Natasha Kaluza is The Super-Duper Hula Hooper. Just wait til you see how many hula hoops she can spin at once! The Plus 1 is the world’s cutest (and most talented) circus dog. In addition to performing in the show, Kaluza will be offering a short “how to hula hoop” session every day.

Aug. 1 to Aug. 4, three shows a day.
Godfrey the Magician

Godfrey presents his fast-moving magic show the first four days of the Fair, so don’t miss it!  Count on lots of comedy and audience participation. In addition to a circus-themed magic show, Godfrey will share some of his experiences traveling with the sideshow of a big circus many years ago. Card tricks, appearing & disappearing coins, and that old classic, pulling something out of his hat make for a fantastic show.
