Goat Hill Fair in Santa Cruz County

I had so much fun at the Goat Hill Fair today!  If you love farmhouse decor and friendly folks you will love Goat Hill Fair, a biannual antique and vintage treasure event held at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds near Watsonville, CA.  It is primarily an indoor event with over 100 vendors featuring amazing and beautiful items in three large buildings.

Goat Hill Fair began in 2011 by organizer Cyndi Garofalo.  It has grown substantially over the years.  Once you go you will be hooked!  People often return, year after year.  For many, it offers a special girlfriend or Mom & daughter bonding experience.  Certainly, some gentlemen will enjoy Goat Hill Fair as well!

You will find all kinds of fun and interesting items at Goat Hill from architectural salvage items to vintage and antique furniture and decor, folk art, jewelry, wreaths, floral/succulent arrangements, and handmade items.   It is very artfully curated and exceptionally organized.  You will find great gift ideas as well as festive decor for your home.

Where:  Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds – 2601 E. Lake Ave, Watsonville, CA 95076

When:  Two shows per year, one in November and one in May.  Shows are held for two days, both Saturday and Sunday.  2019 show dates are May 18-19 and November 9-10.

Helpful Tips:

• I would highly recommend purchasing the “Early Goat” tickets that enable admission at 8:30 am, to avoid the huge crowds later.  These can be purchased online and are $25.00.

• A variety of food & beverage vendors are available and there is also a bar with beer, wine, Bloody Marys, & mimosas
• A covered tent with seating for dining is available
