Alcohol:

The 15th District Agricultural Association (Kern County Fair and Event Center) and the law require that all persons must be 21 years of age for sale, service, consumption and/or possession of alcoholic beverages. If the renter is selling alcohol they must obtain an Alcoholic Beverage Control license and provide the Fairgrounds with a copy of the license.

Insurance:

All persons renting any facility or property of the 15th District Agricultural Association (Kern County Fair and Event Center) are required to provide evidence of insurance for General Liability in the amount of at least $1,000,000 and Liquor Liability in the amount of $1,000,000 if alcoholic beverages are being sold.
Insurance coverage is available and may be purchased through the California Fair Services Authority.

Sound Checks/Music:

We want to remind all of our renters that we have many neighbors and out of courtesy to them we ask that you please keep the noise at a minimum. If your event is not scheduled to begin until 12:00 pm then please do not play your music prior to that time as you set- up. Sound checks should be kept to a minimum amount of time as only needed and should NOT be done prior to 10:00am.
During the event the sound level should be kept at a minimum that allows enjoyment to your crowd but is not excessive to the surrounding neighborhood. Bass levels should be monitored and should not be excessive and should not reverberate back against the building creating an uncomfortable environment.
