Merced County Fairgrounds
Except for a few years when money was scarce, and during World War II, Merced County has had a fair since 1891. The first Merced County Fair, representing the districts of Merced and Mariposa counties, started out in a pavilion on 18th Street on September 2, 1891. The beginning of the Merced County Fair was a two-day event on September 14 & 15, 1929, in the old Municipal Baseball Park, which is now called Applegate Park.
