About San Mateo County Fair

The San Mateo County Event Center, home to the annual San Mateo County Fair, sits on a 48-acre campus with seven buildings and more than 195,000 sq ft of indoor exhibit space. The Expo Hall, the venue's largest space, spans 104,900 sq ft and can host up to 6,000 people seated. Whether you’re attending a large conference like SaaStr Annual or catching main-stage concerts and drone shows at the Fair, we’ve got you covered with practical details for parking, seating, and getting around.

Located at 1346 Saratoga Drive in San Mateo, CA 94403, the center provides accessible entrances and ample on-site and public parking. The venue was renamed in 2005 from the San Mateo County Expo Center to reflect its broader mission as the San Mateo County Event Center.

Travelers can rely on three paved parking lots with a total on-site capacity near 4,000 vehicles. Public parking is available, and access is convenient for riders coming by BART, Caltrain, or SamTrans, with pedestrian access from Gate 3A (Delaware St).
