The 2026 Yolo County Fair proudly celebrates "Hog August Nights" and welcomes you to the 18th Annual Bounty of the County Gala—an evening dedicated to showcasing the incredible flavors, agriculture, and community that make Yolo County unique.
A beloved opening night tradition since 2006, the Gala has become one of the Fair's signature events. Join us on Wednesday, August 12, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM under the Big White Tent. We've extended this year's event by an additional 30 minutes, giving guests even more time to relax, mingle, and enjoy an unforgettable evening with local growers, winemakers, chefs, business owners, and community leaders.
Sample an incredible selection of Yolo County's finest wines, craft beer, margaritas, olive oils, flavored vinegars, local honey, fresh produce, artisan breads, cheeses, and signature dishes from favorite local restaurants and caterers—all while enjoying live music by Little Wing featuring Amy Cline. If you discover a new favorite, many participating vendors will have products available for purchase to take home.
This year's Gala returns under the Big White Tent with an expanded layout, providing more space between vendors for an even better guest experience. You'll find returning favorites alongside exciting new participants, all coming together to celebrate the rich agricultural heritage and culinary excellence of Yolo County.
