The California Mid-State Fair is pleased to announce that all carnival rides on Opening Day of the 2023 Fair will be FREE!

The California Mid-State Fair is teaming up with Helm & Sons Amusements to offer FREE carnival rides to all patrons on Wednesday, July 19, 2023.

Just pay Fair admission and that’s it: no need to purchase single ride tickets or unlimited ride wristbands on Opening Day!

The gates and carnival open at 4:00 pm on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, and don’t close until Midnight.

Of course, carnival ride height and size restrictions still apply, but everyone rides for free in the Main Carnival and Cub Country! And yes, this does include the Big Splash water ride, the new P.L.U.R. Spinning Coaster, and Medusa!

The promotion does not include Fair admission. It does not include any games, as those will be “pay-as-you-play” as usual and cannot be combined with any other promotion or discount. Helm & Sons Amusements will also be offering their “Fast Pass” on-site for $30.00. The “Fast Pass” may be limited due to demand.
