The center of a flourishing wine region, Ukiah's name derives from a Pomo Indian word meaning “deep valley.” Two popular annual events take place at the Redwood Empire Fair & Event Center, 1055 N. State St. The Redwood Empire Spring Fair in early June offers craft, gardening and home improvement vendors, carnival rides and a barbecue grilling competition. It's followed in early August by the 4-day Redwood Empire Fair, a summer celebration with a circus, jugglers, nightly concerts, food booths, farm animals, tractor races and other activities. For information about either event, phone (707) 462-3884. Learn More...
