Silverado Canyon, CA, July. 2010 – Come on out to Silverado and experience how the last of the “Simple Folk” join hands for a jamboree! Just a few 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 40th 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, family games and silly ‘ole timey’ contests, all nestled under the Oak trees below Orange County’s famous Saddleback Mountain.
The 40th ANNUAL SILVERADO COUNTRY FAIR kicks off 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 Canyon Market! The Country Fair event opens at 10:00 AM with live performances of music, dancing and gun ‘slingin’ fun, local art & craft merchants, silly watermelon and corn eatin’ contests, and the “by golly tastiest and wholesomest country cookin’ ya ever ate” both Saturday and Sunday. Highlighting Saturday’s event will be the Mojave Muleskinners accompanied by our own Silverado Characters, old town reenactment group, infamous for “robbing” local stores, shooting varmints, and getting everyone in the spirit of the “Wild West!” Country, Bluegrass, and Classic Rock bands will entertain throughout both days, with an extended Saturday Night BLUES FEST from 5-9 pmon Saturday night only featuring The Oozie Blues followed by The Mike Reilly Band & Friends!
Sunday’s event opens with the Girl Scout’s colorful Folklorico Dancers at 10 amfollowed by legendary cowboy singer Rusty Richards at 11 am, the last remaining member of the Sons of the Pioneers! Sunday’s lineup also includes names such as Shadybrook Bluegrass, Norm Sancho and Third Rail Blue!
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.
