The San Diego County Fair brings K-pop to the Paddock stage on July 5, 2026 — the final day of the Fair at Del Mar Fairgrounds. The K-Pop Festival runs 11 AM to 5 PM with live K-pop performances and fan community programming tied to the Fair's 2026 theme. Del Mar Fairgrounds, 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar, CA 92014. July 5 is the Fair's last day — a holiday weekend Sunday drawing some of the largest single-day crowds of the entire run. County Fair general admission covers entry to all entertainment stages including the K-pop programming. The San Diego K-pop community has been building steadily around acts like ENHYPEN, ATEEZ, and aespa — this stage puts that fandom in front of tens of thousands of attendees, creating discovery in both directions. Tickets at the gate or through the San Diego County Fair website. Fair hours 11 AM to 11 PM. Parking on-site or via Coaster train (stop adjacent to venue). The county fair also features carnival rides, food halls, livestock exhibits, and nightly entertainment across multiple stages.

Dandadan: First Encounter brings the wildest anime of 2025 to U.S. theaters on June 6, 2026 — a limited theatrical run from GKIDS and Fathom Events that packages the first arc of the beloved series for the big screen experience it deserves.
The series follows Momo Ayase, who believes in ghosts but not aliens, and Ken Okarun, who believes in aliens but not ghosts — until the day they both turn out to be right. What follows is a supernatural action comedy that mixes paranormal investigator energy with shounen battle sequences and genuine emotional depth. The theatrical presentation brings the animation's kinetic visual style — OLM's dynamic direction, Eunyoung Choi's fluid action choreography — to a format where the scale actually registers.
GKIDS theatrical screenings typically run at AMC, Regal, and Cinemark locations with subtitled and dubbed options. Check your local listings for exact showtimes and theater availability in Los Angeles and San Diego.
This is not a watch-at-home event. The theatrical window is limited. If you've already watched the series on Netflix, this is the original Japanese broadcast presentation — the one that made the animation community stop what it was doing when it premiered.
Tickets available through Fandango and the AMC app. Limited dates, limited theaters.

The San Diego County Fair dedicates a full day to K-pop in 2026 — live performances, fan activations, and the particular energy that happens when the K-pop community shows up in force to a venue designed for large crowds. The K-Pop Festival sits within the broader fair, which means the surrounding infrastructure — food, rides, exhibits, and open-air space — is all part of the day. The Del Mar Fairgrounds runs the San Diego County Fair from mid-June through July 4th, and the K-Pop Festival is one of the signature programming days within that run. For San Diego's K-pop community, this is a home-ground event rather than a drive to Los Angeles, which matters for the sections of the fanbase that do not make the trek to KCON or Crypto.com Arena regularly. General fair admission covers access to the festival. The fairgrounds are on the coast in Del Mar, which adds to the experience in a way that indoor arenas cannot. June 28, 2026. Gates open at 11 AM. K-Pop Festival programming runs through the evening.
The OC Night Market returns to OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa for multiple weekends throughout summer and fall 2026, one of the most popular Asian night market experiences in Southern California. The market brings together over 200 food vendors, artisan sellers, performers, and entertainment across a sprawling outdoor festival ground that comes alive after dark. Food is the draw. Vendors span all of Southeast Asia, East Asia, and fusion concepts: Korean corn dogs, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, Vietnamese banh mi, Japanese takoyaki, Filipino bibingka, Hong Kong egg waffles, Thai rolled ice cream, and dozens of innovative hybrids that exist nowhere else. Lines form early for the most popular stalls — arrive by 6 PM for best access before the crowds peak. Beyond food, the market features live K-pop performances, a DJ stage, merchandise vendors with streetwear, phone cases, plushies, and art prints, and an activity zone with carnival-style games. The atmosphere is dense, loud, and celebratory — a distinct cultural experience that captures the energy of Asian night markets at a SoCal scale. OC Fair & Event Center is located at 88 Fair Drive in Costa Mesa. Paid parking on-site. Admission is charged at the gate — see ocnightmarket.com for dates, hours, and pricing. Multiple weekends run throughout the season; check for specific event dates.
