Fairtime Contests & Events 2025
This is your chance to take center stage! Blow a giant bubblegum bubble, build a LEGO creation, make a milk mustache or show the world how much you and your mother look alike.
Any fairgoer old enough to stand on stage on their own is welcome in almost all contests, but check the schedule for some that are particularly friendly to the youngest. All contests are free to participants with Fair admission. Everyone gets a special commemorative ribbon, and winners often get free Fair food or novelties donated by Fair vendors, or maybe some circus treats.
ELVIS IS COMING TO THE FAIR!
Elvis Day 2025 and the Elvis Impersonation Contest is on Saturday, August 9th
ELVIS IMPERSONATION CONTEST
First Prize: $1500
If you are a professional Elvis impersonator or just someone who sounds a lot like Elvis, this may be the contest for you! This musical impersonation contest is for solo vocal performers only. All contestants should be prepared to perform two songs originally performed by Elvis Presley. The Fair will provide a professional back-up band. All contestants will perform with the band. Although the musical presentation is critical, contestants should remember that the full picture is important, including stage presence, costume, and audience reaction.
First place: $1,500
Second place: $500
Third place: $250
All other performers will receive $100.
To enter, send your name, contact information (name, address, phone number, and email address), a photograph, and a singing sample to SpecialEvents@SonomaCountyFair.com no later than July 15.
Applications will be reviewed beginning July 16, so make sure you are included and send your entry in early! The entry deadline may be extended if ten contestants have not yet been accepted.
In addition to the Impersonation Contest, Elvis Day will be filled with events and fun for Elvis fans of all ages.
