The California State Fair is held every year at Cal Expo in Sacramento. The 19-day event provides a wealth of entertainment - where else can you eat alligator on a stick, watch a pig race and listen to live bands?
For adrenalin junkies there is the bungee jump and gravity-defying eurobungy trampoline, while the parabounce helium balloon lets you float up for a panoramic view of the action. For speed freaks there is the speedtrack, where you can hurtle round in a drag race car, going from 0-60 mph in less than 1.5 seconds. If something a little more relaxed is your style, then take a wander around the many exhibits, listen to live music or sample a glass or two in the wine-tasting area.
