Santa Clara Valley Kennel Club 2027: Everything You Need to Know
Turlock, California • January 15–17, 2027
Three all-breed shows in three days in California's Central Valley — the Santa Clara Valley Kennel Club's January weekend at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds.
What is Santa Clara Valley Kennel Club 2027?
The Santa Clara Valley Kennel Club's January weekend is one of the Central Valley's winter all-breed stops: three all-breed conformation shows, Friday through Sunday, at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds in Turlock. AKC results confirm the club held its 2026 show at these same fairgrounds on January 10, 2026.
The fairgrounds are the 72-acre home of the annual Stanislaus County Fair each July, and they host multiple dog-show clusters through the year — so the buildings, grooming areas, and parking are built for show weekends.
The days
- Fri, Jan 15 — Santa Clara Valley Kennel Club — all-breed show
- Sat, Jan 16 — Santa Clara Valley Kennel Club — all-breed show
- Sun, Jan 17 — Santa Clara Valley Kennel Club — all-breed show
The 2027 show is listed as three days; the 2026 show was a single day (Saturday, January 10, 2026).
