The Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival started as a celebration for the end of the annual date harvest in the Coachella Valley. The event today remains true to those agricultural roots with livestock exhibits and cooking demonstrations featuring dates. Other fair favorites ranging from fine art exhibitions to monster truck rallies, and musical entertainment to carnival rides add to the appeal of this diverse county fair.
