About California Exposition & State Fair

The California Exposition & State Fair sits on 350 acres of multi-use fairgrounds in Sacramento, offering a dynamic mix of state fair programming, sports venues, and event spaces. Home to Heart Health Park and the Sac Republic FC soccer team, the site hosts a range of events beyond the annual California State Fair. Whether you’re catching a concert, a sports match, or a special exhibition, we’ve got you covered with practical tips on seating, parking, transit, and nearby stays and dining.

We’ll lay out seating options at the on-site venues, share parking and transportation details, and point you toward trusted nearby hotels and dining partners to simplify your visit.

Seating capacity varies by venue: Michelob Ultra Grandstand can host up to 18,000 guests, while the Show Arena accommodates up to 3,500. For most events, an interactive seating chart is available from third-party providers, with official maps on the Cal Expo site to help you secure your ideal seats. Parking typically ranges around the best available price for general events and higher for special occasions; accessible parking is available near gates and parking lots are patrolled 24/7. Transit options include SacRT bus routes, event shuttles, and light-rail access via downtown stations like 7th & Capitol and 8th & K. Nearby hotels near the Cal Expo campus include Residence Inn Sacramento Cal Expo, Courtyard Sacramento Cal Expo, Fairfield Inn Sacramento Cal Expo, Hampton Inn & Suites Sacramento-Cal Expo, and Hilton Arden West.
