MADERA – The Madera District Fair will not only kick off its 2022 season on Thursday, September 8, with Free admission on Valley Children’s Healthcare Day but also honor our Madera educators with a huge celebration.

The Business and Education Committee of the Madera Chamber of Commerce will host their Salute to Education at the Madera District Fair on opening day. While this event has been held in May for over 50 years, staging the event as part of the Madera Fair is expected to draw more attention to the recipients and their accomplishments. For that reason, Tom Mitchell, CEO of the Madera District Fair, stated, “It is our pleasure to facilitate the ‘Salute to Education’ at the 2022 Madera Fair recognizing Madera’s heroes!  We are proud to join our community in celebrating this year’s recipients”.

MADERA - The Madera Fair has become known for its first-class FREE entertainment with your paid fair admission. This year that tradition continues with two legendary bands from the 60s and 70s and a top country music act with over a dozen chart-topping hits. In addition to these acts playing on the Headliner Stage as part of the Table Mountain Concert Series presented by Estrella Jalisco, several up-and-comers to the California music scene will perform on the 20/30 Party Stage to kick off each night with pre-concert festivities.

As if that were not enough, the entertainment continues after the headliners perform with after-party concert performances also on the 20/30 Party Stage. Only at the Madera Fair can you see three awesome live bands each night for less than the cost of a movie ticket this September.
