By Staff Report · Tue May 26 2026

PASO ROBLES — Today is the final opportunity for fairgoers to purchase buy one, get one free season admission passes for the California Mid-State Fair.

As part of the fair’s “2Fer Tuesday” promotion, buyers can purchase two adult season passes for $80 or two youth season passes for $40. Passes are sold in matching pairs only, though multiple sets may be purchased.

Discounted passes are available in person from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or online from 4 a.m. to 11 p.m. through California Mid-State Fair.

Season admission passes provide entry to all 12 days of the fair, running July 15–26, and include access to free entertainment stages, exhibits, demonstrations, livestock displays, shopping areas, roving entertainment, and special interactive elements tied to this year’s “Back to the ’80s” theme celebrating the fair’s 80th anniversary.

Fair officials also announced additional savings opportunities this summer, including discounted carnival wristband vouchers sold by nonprofit groups in June, Farm Supply admission discounts, ValPak coupons mailed countywide in July, and a new daily happy hour featuring discounted food and beverages.
