Alameda County Fairgrounds

Both of the dance studios I work at were performing on different stages on different days. Employees were not helpful nor were they able to point me in the direction I needed to go. The maps were not much help, but eventually I figured it out. My dancers and the stage worked out well, but it gets really hot there so hydrate and wear comfy walking shoes.

*"Breathtaking Drone and Fireworks Show!"* I just witnessed the most incredible drone and fireworks show! The synchronization of the drones with the music was perfect, creating patterns and shapes in the sky that left everyone breathless. The fireworks added a magical touch, illuminating the sky with dazzling colors and shapes. The organization and execution of the show were impeccable, with attention to detail that was noticeable every moment. The excitement and enthusiasm of the crowd were palpable, and I myself felt thrilled and amazed by the beauty of the show. *Highlights:* - Perfect synchronization of drones and music - Impressive fireworks - Impeccable organization and execution *Recommendation:* - Don't miss this show if you're a fan of technology and pyrotechnics - Bring a camera to capture incredible moments - Enjoy the show with friends and family to share the excitement) "Best Fair Ever!

One of the best fair! Good food, great price for the bracelet on the rides, a lot of activities for everyone on the family, spe ial events, great weather, hot but breeze, also bring a sweater for the late ride is kind of chill. Fast passes recommended. Save a lot of time. Get there as soon as they open for the whole family experience. Good time
