The Sacramento State Fair ended its 17-day run with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees during the final weekend, leading to plans to move the event to September next year. The heat affected attendance, with vendors Chrissy and Kyle Mattimoe noting that they saw more frequent cloudy days and fewer people returning to the fair due to the heat. Starting next year, organizers plan to move to September to avoid peak summer heat and offer a more comfortable experience for attendees. Despite the challenges, fairgoers said concerts and performances such as Boyz II Men's performance helped draw crowds, particularly Friday night's performance. The new dates are being supported by fans who believe they can accommodate children during summer break.
