–Applications for the 2019 California Mid-State Fair’s Mission Market Place are now available. The Mission Market Place is designed to showcase the Central Coast’s best products and locally made goods. It will give twenty artisans, growers and producers a home to showcase their locally grown or hand-crafted items to over 420,000 fairgoers. Product examples could include things like honey, spices, jerky, preserved foods, artisan cheese, as well as hand crafted or repurposed items.
The fair will provide each of the participants with product placement in the Mission Market Place located in Estrella Hall, the Fair’s largest indoor commercial building.

The Mission Market Place will also feature Idler’s Demonstration Kitchen, hosting daily food demos by local chefs and product samplings of award winning olive oils.
