About

The OC Fair returns to the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa for its annual summer run, July 17 through August 16, 2026, open Wednesday through Sunday. For more than a century, the Orange County Fair has been Southern California's definitive summer tradition: a sprawling celebration of food, agriculture, live entertainment, carnival rides, and community that draws more than a million visitors every season. The fair features hundreds of food vendors: beloved standbys like deep-fried everything, fresh corn on the cob, turkey legs, funnel cake, and the famous deep-fried Oreos, alongside competitions in baking, jam, quilting, and livestock that honor the fair's agricultural roots. The carnival midway runs all day with thrill rides, skill games, and amusements for every age. Livestock exhibitions, pig races, and the Centennial Farm offer agricultural education in the middle of suburban Orange County. The Pacific Amphitheatre, one of SoCal's most beloved outdoor concert venues, hosts nightly concerts throughout the fair run. Concert tickets include free same-day fair admission. The Hangar and Action Sports Arena fill evenings with additional programming. General admission: $15 Friday-Sunday, $13 Wednesday-Thursday, $9 for seniors 60+ and kids 6-12, free for children 5 and under. Season passes available. The fairgrounds are located at 88 Fair Dr, Costa Mesa, accessible via the 405 and 55 freeways.

FoodieLand Food Festival — San Diego
Tomorrow · May 1 – May 3 Del Mar Fairgrounds, 2260 Jimmy Du…

Come hungry. That is the only requirement. FoodieLand is the nation's largest food festival — 250+ vendors packed into Del Mar Fairgrounds across three evenings in May, each one running 3 PM to 10 PM. This is not a county fair with funnel cakes and a corn dog stand. It is a full passport stamp: Korean BBQ next to Oaxacan tacos next to Taiwanese shaved ice next to wood-fired Argentine empanadas. Festival-only menu items that vendors do not sell anywhere else. Artisan shops. Live music threading through the crowd. Games. The smell of a dozen cuisines hitting you at the same time and somehow all of it working. They built it for people with dietary needs too — kosher, halal, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian options spread throughout the grounds, not tucked into a corner. Tickets are $12 in advance on Eventbrite. Children 5 and under get in free. There is no gate sale — buy before you go. Parking is $16 online or $20 at the gate via Del Mar Fairgrounds. Bring cash; not every vendor runs a card reader, and the ATMs on-site will have lines by 5 PM. No re-entry, so pace yourself and stay the full seven hours. You will need them. Follow @foodielandsd for vendor announcements and drop lineups before the weekend.
