About Silver Dollar Fairgrounds

Silver Dollar Fairgrounds is located at 37 Fair Street in Chico, California, and is operated by the 3rd District Agricultural Association, a California state fair entity. The fairgrounds function as a multi-purpose event complex with outdoor grounds, exhibit and commercial buildings, livestock and show areas, carnival midway space, and a grandstand-backed dirt racing oval.

The venue is best known as the home of the Annual Silver Dollar Fair, a long-running Butte County fair tradition held around Memorial Day weekend. It also houses Silver Dollar Speedway, which hosts regular dirt-track auto racing and is recognized as one of the premier dirt tracks on the West Coast.

Events at Silver Dollar Fairgrounds include the annual county fair, sprint cars and similar dirt racing programs, carnival and midway attractions, livestock and agricultural exhibitions, community events, and facility rentals for private and public gatherings. The Annual Silver Dollar Fair has featured family-friendly attractions such as a petting zoo, camels, and pig races, while the speedway anchors the venue’s racing calendar from spring through fall.

Location & Transportation

Silver Dollar Fairgrounds is located at 37 Fair Street, Chico, CA 95928 — a fairgrounds complex in Chico with access by car from Fair Street.

Driving and Parking: Silver Dollar Fairgrounds is primarily accessed by car, with on-site and surrounding fairgrounds parking available for events. Lots can fill around major dates such as the Annual Silver Dollar Fair and feature race nights at Silver Dollar Speedway, so arriving early is the best way to reduce stress before entry.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are workable near the Fair Street entrances. After large crowds exit the fair or a feature race, expect longer waits as vehicles move through the surrounding area.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available throughout Chico, with hotels concentrated near Highway 99 and in the downtown Chico area a short drive from the fairgrounds.

Venue Navigation

Silver Dollar Fairgrounds has an open fairgrounds layout, with multiple event areas spread across outdoor grounds, buildings, midway space, and the speedway grandstand. Understanding which part of the grounds your event uses helps you plan your arrival, walking route, and timing.

Entrances and Access: Main access is off Fair Street. The fairgrounds use multiple gates during the Annual Silver Dollar Fair, while speedway events have separate access patterns for race nights.

Seating Levels: The grounds include exhibit and commercial buildings, outdoor areas, a midway, and grandstand seating at Silver Dollar Speedway. Speedway events center on the dirt oval and grandstand, while fair and community events can use general admission grounds, buildings, and open event spaces.

Getting to Your Section: The fairgrounds are largely flat, but walking surfaces can include gravel, pavement, and dirt, especially near the speedway. Comfortable footwear makes it easier to move between parking, gates, concessions, exhibits, and grandstand areas.

How Much Do Tickets to Silver Dollar Fairgrounds Cost?

Silver Dollar Fairgrounds ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the event program, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from general-admission county fair days to feature race nights at Silver Dollar Speedway.

Annual fair admission is typically low, with daily general-admission pricing making it an accessible option for families, groups, and visitors planning to enjoy the midway, exhibits, livestock areas, and fair attractions.

Dirt-track racing tickets at Silver Dollar Speedway are generally in a modest grandstand pricing range, with higher demand and higher prices for feature races and special race nights.

Buying earlier is advisable for marquee fair days and special racing events. As inventory shrinks and the date approaches, prices for the best remaining options can rise, especially for high-demand fair dates and major speedway programs.

Getting Ready for Your Silver Dollar Fairgrounds Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor fairgrounds venue with parking, gates, and event areas spread across the property.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the gate without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for the Annual Silver Dollar Fair and feature race nights, when parking areas and entrances fill.
• Wear the right footwear. Silver Dollar Fairgrounds includes gravel, pavement, and dirt surfaces, especially near the speedway, so comfortable, closed-toe footwear is advisable.
• Dress in layers. Chico’s late-spring and summer days can be hot, while evenings cool off. Plan for layers and sun protection for outdoor events.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Major fair days and feature race nights draw heavier arrival traffic, so leaving extra time for parking and entry helps keep your schedule on track.
• Know your entrance. Fair entry and speedway events can use different gates, so checking your ticket details before arrival helps you head to the right part of the grounds.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
