Originally known as the ‘Little Flower Show’, San Mateo County Fair
had very modest beginnings. The event was held in several schools
around San Mateo County. But finally, in the year 1935, the show was
taken to Bay Meadows Racetrack where it still resides. Since the fair
is such a big attraction to the residents and tourists alike, several
transportation providers offer transit facilities to people to and from
cities within the county.
