Tell me when it's backWhat it was like
You go in swearing you will just walk around, and somehow you are holding something deep-fried on a stick that has no business existing, watching a teenager lead a steer around a ring like it is the most serious thing in the world. It is. That is the part nobody warns you about — the livestock competitions absolutely slap.
The Del Mar fair is the same every year and that is the whole point: rides that would hold their own at Belmont Park, a midway that smells like sugar and diesel, and at least one concert you will pretend you did not enjoy. Everyone in this county has a version of this memory and most of them are from childhood.
It runs June into the July 4th weekend at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Go early on a weekday unless you enjoy spending 45 minutes hunting a parking spot.
Take the person you used to go with. See if the corn dogs hold up.
