Come on out to Silverado Canyon on October 13-14, 2012, and experience how the last of the “Simple Folk” join hands for a jamboree! Just miles from the inner city life of Orange County, lies the little ‘ole town of Silverado Canyon. This country town of less than 1,500 residents was once inhabited by the Juaneno Native American tribe then later part of the 1800’s silver boom! The 43rd Annual Silverado Country Fair promises to be one of the best family events of the season and will explore the wonders of the area’s Old West rustic culture, great live music, tasty food, handmade arts and crafts, 1800's activities like pannin'fer gold and such, plus some silly ‘ole timey’ contests, all nestled under the Oak trees below Orange County’s famous Saddleback Mountain.

This year is the 43rd ANNUAL SILVERADO COUNTRY FAIR and it kicks off October 13th at 9 am with an annual Silverado Country Fair “Unparade” of canyon characters, wagon driven-store robbin’ outlaws, horseback riders, scouts, dancers and classic cars. You can best view the live action from the Silverado Café or the Canyon Market! The Country Fair event at the park opens at 10:00 am with live performances of music, dancing and gun ‘slingin’ fun, local art & craft merchants, 1800’s hands-on activities such as gold panning and eatin' contests, petting zoo & children's games plus the “by golly tastiest and wholesomest country cookin’ ya ever ate” both Saturday and Sunday. Highlighting the event will be the Silverado Characters, infamous for “robbing” local stores and shooting varmints, along side Spurs n' Satin, one of Orange County's funniest and best dressed re-enactment groups who will be getting everyone in the spirit of the “Wild West!” 

Country Fair wild west town visitors will be treated to a special Saturday performance by the legendary cowboy Rusty Richards, the last of the singin' cowboys from the Sons of the Pioneers. Rusty will be followed by the Canyon Creek Ramblers and would'ya believe it?...a watermelon and pie eatin' contest too! Sat & Sun stage line-up also includes new young singer/ songwriters: Nicole Vaughn, voted OC Music Awards "Best OC Folk Band", 13 year old folk and mariachi singer Maya Burns, and the canyon's own Valerie Bloom! The Saturday Night BLUES Fest will rock the canyons with live Blues from 5-9 pm with special guest performances by Three Blind Mice, The Oozie Blues, closing with a hillbilly hoedown by Sawtooth!

The Silverado Country Fair is held at the Silverado Community Center, located just one mile into Silverado Canyon, and only minutes away from the cities of Orange, Lake Forest, Santa Margarita and Irvine.
