Madera District Fair

The Madera District Fair is actually an independently run state agency known as the 21A District Agricultural Association. We are home to a number of community events including the annual Madera Fair that is held in September every year. We are also host to a number of interim events and full-time rentals including the Madera Speedway, the Wednesday Flea Market, Madera Skate, and a quarter midget race track.

Our Mission

The Madera District Fair strives to meet the needs of the community by providing a venue that is fun, safe and family oriented, all the while promoting agriculture and community involvement.

Madera District Fair Operations:

The Madera District Fair has an operating budget of $1 million per year.The Fair receives 1/10 - that's $125,000 - of its operating budget from an allocation from Fairs and Expositions and does not receive any tax money.For the remaining $875,000, the Fair must generate its own revenue in order to break even, which leaves little to no room for property repairs and improvements.

The Fair maintains its expenses by their annual four-day fair, rental agreements with year round tenants and renting out the buildings for private functions.

The Commons at the Madera District Fair

The Commons shopping center is a unique partnership between the Newman Development Group and the 21A District Agricultural Association (better know as the Madera District Fair). This partnership has provided the Madera District Fairgrounds with a much needed cash infusion that will allow the Fair to upgrade and repair many of it's outdated and worn-out facilities. The revenue for the Fair takes the form of a long-term lease with Newman Development Group that will provide the Madera District Fair with a steady source of revenue for years to come.

The center is currently home to Lowe's, Dollar Tree, Big5, Petco, Walgreens, T-Mobile, Cool Hand Luke's, and Gamestop with more to come soon.
