2024 Fair Season
Nothing says summer like the San Diego County Fair! Each year over a million visitors flock to the fair during its 20-day season. Of course, there’s no shortage of traditional Fair fun to explore. Scout out Best-of-Show winners in the Fair’s various competitive exhibitions from woodworking to floral design, and fine art to homemade crafts and collections. Reach new heights as you climb to the top of the Ferris wheel and enjoy the view of the glistening, blue Pacific. Hike out to the Farm, Livestock Barns, CA Grown and the Garden Show to learn all about local agriculture from food to fiber to flowers.
The San Diego County Fair began in 1880. One of the treasured traditions and key components that continues to set the fair apart from other events and amusement venues, is the participatory element of the fair. The community is the star of the show, and the public is encouraged to “Go Retro” and take part in the Fair by performing center stage as a community entertainer, or submitting arts and hobbies through the fair’s competitive exhibition program.
