Facilities Rentals Contact

Nearly every part of the Humboldt County Fairgrounds is available for rent for events, celebrations, or meetings outside of the annual fair. These buildings have their own rates and fees based on the size of the space you are interested in. Feel free to call our Assistant Office Manager to get started with an event rental, but worry not - any of our office staff are happy to assist you in learning about what we have available for your special event; just give us a call or come by!
