From rodeos to monster trucks and Arenacross, Big Fresno Fair officials announced a slew of events to fill the gap left after they announced there would be no horse racing there this year.
Events at the Brian I. Tatarian Grandstand begin Oct. 3 with the Big Fresno Fair Rodeo, going on through Oct. 4.
On Oct. 10 the grandstand will host the Arenacross Nationals, a dirt bike race.
The 10th annual Beer & Wine Fest will take place on Oct. 11, and to cap off the events, the Monsters of Destruction Monster Trucks will have two shows on Oct. 12.
Tickets will be available to Big Fair Fan Club members beginning Monday through July 20. Tickets will then go on sale to the general public July 21.
In June, the California Horse Racing Board denied the fair’s request to host races at the fair. The fair lost its license after the California Association of Racing Fairs did not renew its application to conduct meets this year.
Acclaimed horse breeder John Harris, who passed away earlier this month, led the effort to continue the races at the Big Fresno Fair.
