Santa Clara County Fair to host drive-thru 'California Experience' this summer
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- The Santa Clara County Fair in San Jose will be held as a drive-thru event this summer. It is the latest Bay Area event to, yet again, change or cancel plans due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
"Despite the positive advances being made with COVID-19 and availability of vaccines," organizers wrote on its website. "There are uncertainties in the months ahead regarding large gatherings in the County of Santa Clara and the state of California."
