DIXON, CA (MPG) - Once you get to the Dixon May Fair, which runs from Thursday through this Sunday, getting inside to enjoy the carnival rides and fair food is on the top of your mind.

To help you get into all the fun action, the Dixon May Fair has some tips to help lines go smoothly.

The Dixon May Fair has put several safety precautions in place to create a safer and more pleasurable experience for all fairgoers. For example, every patron goes through a metal detector at each entrance and this means that all your bags and strollers must be checked. Your wallet, keys, and pocket change must be placed in a container as well. If possible, do not bring backpacks or large handbags and carry essentials in a clear bag or pouch. 

Save time by buying your tickets online at DixonMayFair.com before you come so that you don’t have to stand in a ticket line, then move to the admission line where you will go through the metal detector. Have the tickets easily available on your mobile device or your printed tickets in your hand ready to present them.

Items that cannot be brought into the Dixon May Fair include any type of weapon, which means no guns, knives (including pocket knives), pepper spray or other objects that could be a threat to the safety of other fairgoers.

One unopened, sealed water bottle per person is allowed, as well as baby food and special dietetic foods. Only empty personal water containers are allowed that can be filled inside the fairgrounds. 

No chairs, bicycles, hoverboards, skateboards, scooters, squirt guns or balloons are allowed inside the fairgrounds. 

No pets are allowed on the fairgrounds. Qualified service dogs that meet the State of California definition (available at DixonMayFair.com) and dogs participating in various shows will be allowed.

By simply being aware of these precautions before you arrive, you can look forward to a great time at the Dixon May Fair!

Remaining fair hours are noon to 11 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday. The Dixon May Fair is at the Dixon Fairgrounds at 655 S. 1st St.
