The San Mateo County Fair is an annual exposition at the San Mateo County Expo Center. It is usually held in August.

Among the major attractions of the San Mateo County Fair are:

The average attendance at the San Mateo County Fair is 150,000 and a lot of businessmen from the county and from the state use the occasion to generate leads, introduce new products, conduct drawings or giveaways, advertise, and promote upcoming events.

The San Mateo County Fair presents horse racing during its nearly 2-week run. The Fair conducts its meeting at historic Bay Meadows Racecourse, which opened in November 1934. It is the oldest major racetrack in California.

The San Mateo County Fair meeting serves as a prelude to Bay Meadows' fall season, which is usually held from September to November.

Thoroughbred events make up the majority of the racing programs at the San Mateo County Fair. However, there are also contests for quarter horses, Appaloosas and Arabians.

The races at the San Mateo County Fair are held in high regard and most of Northern California's top jockeys compete at the races.
