Yes and no.

In terms of it being too early, it's absolutely not. I knew a lot of people who got jobs lined up in the fall/winter when they didn't graduate until the next summer. Even if you weren't a senior they can still be a good idea to attend.

But on the other hand, they are a lot of work for you to truly get anything out of. It's not just attending but also spending time prepping and learning about the companies so you don't just walk up to every one going "So what does your company do?". If you didn't feel like you had the time for it, then don't feel too bad, but if you had nothing better to do it couldn't have hurt to attend.

Lastly, they aren't really all they're cracked up to be in my experience. Everyone would just tell you to apply online, which is precisely what I went to the career fair to avoid having to do. I don't know what it's like at your school but the on-campus interviews and info sessions companies would have after the career fair (and to a lesser extent throughout the year) were way more useful
