Awards -- a meaningful symbol of exhibitors' efforts. Awards A symbol of so much hard work.... Awards mean a great deal to our proud exhibitors. They are mementos that reflect all the hours spent in the barn, the early morning and nighttime feedings, cleaning pens & stalls, grooming rituals, exercising, and showmanship practice. When it's all said and done, banners, plaques, and buckles are something that will be cherished for years to come. HFFCF is grateful for all the individuals, families, businesses, and organizations who sponsor these awards each year. Your contributions make it possible! Please renew your support or join our team of Award Sponsors for the first time in 2026! Yes--I want to Sponsor an Award!

A timeline of Healdsburg Fair's history and a little bit about who we are. Experience Healdsburg Fair A celebration of small-town charm and agricultural spirit. History 1857 – May Day Festivals Begin Healdsburg hosts May Day Festivals at what is now Oak Mound Cemetery. These early celebrations help establish the community’s tradition of springtime gatherings. 1859 – First Agricultural Fair The first agricultural fair in Sonoma County is held in Healdsburg by W. P. Ewing. Known as the Agricultural and Mechanic’s Society Fair, it takes place on land purchased from town founder Harmon Heald. 1948 – Early Youth Fair A small, informal fair for local youth is held near the American Legion Hall on Center Street, marking the beginnings of the fair we know and love today. 1950 – Official Founding of the HFFCF The Healdsburg Future Farmers Country Fair is officially established. 1956 – Move to Giorgi Park The fair relocates from Center Street to Giorgi Park (also known as Recreation Park), where it remains to this day. 1960s–Present – Growth & Tradition The fair grows into one of Healdsburg’s most beloved community events, dedicated to supporting agricultural education for local 4-H and FFA youth. Twilight Parade Tradition The Twilight Parade becomes the official kickoff to the fair, traditionally held the Thursday night before Memorial Day weekend. 2024 – Record-Breaking Year The Healdsburg Fair celebrates its 75th anniversary!
