The Santa Clara County Fairgrounds Management Corporation (SCCFMC) is closely monitoring the guidelines and information provided by government officials regarding the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).

To protect the health of our community and to stop the spread of the COVID-19, the Santa Clara County (SCC)  Public Health Officer has mandated that all mass gatherings in the County  scheduled over the next 3 weeks, commencing March 11, 2020, be cancelled. In addition, the Public Health Officer is also strongly urging the postponement or canceling of gatherings and community events where large numbers of people are within arm’s length of one another.

In following the mandate and guidance of the SCC Public Health Officer, the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds Management Corporation has made the decision to cancel all public events scheduled during the period of March 11 through March 31, 2020, including Off Track Betting and Bingo operations.  We will continue to monitor and provide updates as the situation warrants.
