AgFest features daily livestock shows, vocational exhibits, entertainment and special events for exhibitors, complimented by delicious food concessions and quality vendors. Friday brings the Master Showmanship competition followed by an exhibition of winners from all the competitions throughout the week.  AgFest concludes with the traditional Livestock Auction where exhibitors sell their replacement heifers and market livestock projects.  Join us for a fun-filled week as we support the agricultural youth of San Joaquin County.
