About

You feel a Top Fuel car before you hear it — the air changes, your sternum moves, and you understand why people drive to Pomona in February just to stand near it. That first weekend of the drag season has run on this strip since 1961, which makes it the oldest race the sport still holds, and there's a particular charge to being there while the whole season is still undecided: brand-new cars, new sponsors down the flanks, teams finding out whether an entire winter of engine work actually did anything.

The cool February air is a gift here — it lets the fastest machines in motorsport make pass after pass without cooking, so you get clean, quick runs from Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle all weekend. And the pit pass is the secret: for barely more than the price of walking in, you stand a few feet from crews tearing down and rebuilding nitro engines between rounds, which is a thing almost no other pro sport lets you do.

Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, 2780 Fairplex Dr, February 2027. Grandstand or GA, pit passes open to everyone. Thursday qualifying is the value play — full pro runs, thinner crowds, cheaper seats.

Fairplex Oktoberfest 2026 — Pomona

Oct 2 – Oct 26, 2026 Paid - $20-$35 (21+) Fairplex, 1101 W McKinley Ave, Pom…

There's a specific joy in being one of two thousand people all raising a full stein at the same moment, and no home bar will ever reproduce it. That's the whole case for driving out to Pomona on an October Friday: the oom-pah band hits, someone three tables over starts the toast, and suddenly a fairground full of strangers is rowdy together in the way that only happens when everyone commits to the same ridiculous, wonderful bit. The Fairplex has room most Oktoberfests don't — this isn't a bar that hung some banners, it's the LA County Fair grounds turned into an actual open-air beer garden. German and craft on tap, pretzels and bratwurst and schnitzel doing exactly what they're supposed to, live polka carrying over all of it. It runs multiple weekends, and most people pick one Friday, make a night of it, and quietly start planning next year's before they've left the lot. 21+. Every Friday and Saturday evening in October, 6–11pm, at the Fairplex in Pomona — about 30 miles east of downtown on the 10, or the Metrolink San Bernardino Line to Pomona North. Designated-driver deals at the gate. Bring the friends who'll do the toast without being asked twice.

Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show — July 2026

In 13 days · Aug 16 1801 W. McKinley Ave., Gate 17, Po…

You have been hunting one piece for months. Not a category of piece, the exact one: the right trim, the correct-year manual, the thing that does not exist on any website because it was never important enough for anyone to photograph. And then it is lying on a folding table next to a man who knows precisely what it is worth. Hundreds of vendors spread across the Fairplex lots with parts, tools, memorabilia, and boxes nobody has sorted since the eighties, plus a full classic car show running alongside. What separates this from a flea market is the crowd. Everybody walking those rows can identify what they are looking at from ten feet away, and half of them will tell you the story behind it whether you asked or not. Gate 17 on West McKinley Avenue in Pomona, free to get in, and bring cash. Set an alarm that feels unreasonable, because the good stuff is gone before reasonable people arrive.

Pomona Fairplex Comic & Toy Expo 2026

Sep 12 – Sep 13, 2026 Paid admission — see fairplex.com Fairplex, 1101 W McKinley Ave, Pom…

The back issue you have been hunting online for two years — always either overpriced or already gone — could be sitting in a long box on a folding table in Pomona right now, and the only way to find out is to flip. This is a marketplace, not a spectacle. Rows of dealers with comics running from the Golden Age to last month, loose and carded figures spanning three decades of childhood, model kits, vintage toys, prototype variants, and the deep-catalog items people chase for years without admitting it out loud. Artists and small publishers table alongside the dealers, so the commerce and the creator side sit in the same aisle. It fills the climate-controlled halls at the Fairplex, which are big enough that you will not cover it all in a day. Both days open to the public, cheap at the door. Go with the person who taught you to bag and board. Let them tell you the story again.

Cal Poly Pomona PumpkinFest 2026

Every Saturday · Next Oct 10 AGRIscapes, 4102 S University Dr, …

A university pumpkin patch that takes itself exactly as seriously as a pumpkin patch should — which is to say, the corn maze is real, the insect fair is unexpected, and the students running the whole thing are genuinely invested in whether you pick the right gourd. The 33rd Annual Cal Poly Pomona PumpkinFest runs October 10-31, 2026 (weekends only, with a Preview Night on October 8). The festival sprawls across AGRIscapes with a petting zoo, insect fair, corn maze, live entertainment, pumpkin picking, contests, food vendors, and the kind of agricultural education that makes city kids ask where food actually comes from. AGRIscapes, 4102 S University Dr, Pomona, CA 91768. Check cpp.edu/pumpkinfestival for tickets and schedule. Bring the kids. Bring the adults who act like kids around pumpkins. Bring anyone who needs to remember what October is supposed to feel like.

RISE of the Jack O'Lanterns — Fairplex Pomona

Oct 27, 2026 Fairplex Pomona, 1101 W McKinley A…

Not every October night has to be about being frightened. Some people simply want to walk somewhere beautiful with the person they came with and feel the season without a chainsaw in it. More than five thousand pumpkins, every one of them carved by hand, lit from the inside and set along a walking path. Portraits, scenes, whole sculptures, an ambient soundtrack underneath and nothing waiting to jump out at you. It sits on a wide-open fairground under the fall sky rather than in a parking lot, and entry runs in timed intervals so it never turns into a shuffling crowd. It lands in the week before Halloween and it is gone in four nights. The Fairplex in Pomona, an evening in late October. Take the kid who counts down to Halloween all year, and take the adult who is tired of being frightened for fun.

Nov 12 – Nov 15, 2026 Auto Club Raceway at Pomona, Pomon…

Nothing prepares you for what a Top Fuel car does to your body. You feel it in your sternum, in your teeth, in the loose change in your pocket. Ten thousand horsepower covers a quarter mile in under four seconds, and the sound arrives as physical pressure — people flinch, then laugh, then go quiet. This is the weekend that decides the season. Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock, and Pro Stock Motorcycle titles separated by fractions of a second, three days of qualifying and eliminations feeding a Sunday where every single run counts. Pomona has been hosting this since 1961. The grandstands run the length of the quarter mile, and the pit pass gets you close enough to watch a crew tear an engine down and rebuild it between rounds. Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, off the 10 and the 60. Come early on the final Sunday for the pre-race ceremonies. Take the friend who has never felt a nitro engine from up close. Watch their face instead of the track.

You found your people.

They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
