Earlier in the day, folks were out enjoying the rides, including camel rides.
The petting zoo offered goats and sheep, as well as livestock on display.
How the Alameda County Fair lost a $5 million bet to save horse racing
The Alameda County Fairgrounds is now on the hook for $5 million in losses and the fate of horse racing in Northern California is now in doubt.
"I like to see the livestock, listen to the music and ride the overhead tram thing," April Thomason said.
For a lot of people, the fair is all about the food, from turkey legs to corn dogs and even deep-fried Twinkies.
The fair runs Wednesday to Sunday through July 6.
