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.

ANIME Impulse Los Angeles 2027 — Fairplex, Pomona

Jan 16, 2027 varies Fairplex, 2118 N White Ave, Pomona…

You learned early to keep the volume down about it. The show that rearranged you at fourteen, the character you still think about on bad days — you mention it at work in a careful voice, already braced for the blank look. Then you walk into a hall on the Pomona fairgrounds in January and the blank look never comes. Somebody clocks your jacket from thirty feet out. A stranger finishes a line you only started. What surprises first-timers is how much of the floor is working artists rather than merch tables. The alley is where the real conversations happen, and whoever sells you a print stayed up arguing about that same ending you did. It takes over the grounds that hold the county fair, so there is room to breathe between the cosplay and the cafe tables. Two days, doors at ten, halls loud until seven. Everyone here got in through a different door.

Grand National Roadster Show 2027

Feb 5, 2027 Fairplex, 1101 W McKinley Ave, Pom…

Somewhere in Southern California right now there is a man who has been working on the same car for four years. Not restoring it. Building it, from the frame up, chasing a specific idea he has never fully described out loud to anyone. He has a February deadline he set himself, and he is behind on it, and he will make it, and he will not sleep the week before. That is what fills the halls at Fairplex. The America's Most Beautiful Roadster trophy is nine feet tall and looks faintly absurd until you understand that grown men reorganize years of their life around it, and that some of them enter and lose and come back and enter again. Walk the buildings and you can read the obsession directly off the metal: hand-formed panels, paint with depth you cannot photograph, undersides finished as carefully as the hoods because the judges will look. This is the longest-running indoor car show in the world, and it happens in Pomona in the dead of winter, when nothing else does. February 5 through 7, 2027, at Fairplex.

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 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.

Summer Snow Car Show & Lowrider Spectacular — Pomona Fairplex

Aug 9, 2026 The Derby Room Pomona at Fairplex,…

The parking lot fills before the gates open. Not because of the event — because of the cars already rolling in for display. Lowriders on hydraulics, classics with candy paint so deep you can see yourself in it from twenty feet away, custom builds that someone spent years and arguments with their partner perfecting. The Summer Snow Car Show and Lowrider Spectacular is the kind of show where the builders know each other by name and the spectators become builders by the time they leave. The Derby Room at Pomona Fairplex transforms into a daylong celebration of SoCal car culture — the real one, the one that started in East LA garages and spread across every neighborhood that cared more about how a car looked than how fast it went. Expect lowriders, custom cruisers, pedal cars, and bikes competing for trophies, with vendor rows of parts, art, and culture merch filling the gaps. The live music lineup brings freestyle legend Trinere performing her hits alongside Suga Free, Tapps, and Bad Vic — so the soundtrack matches the cars: classic, loud, and exactly right. All ages welcome, no outside alcohol. Sunday, August 9, 2026. 1 PM – 9 PM. The Derby Room Pomona at Fairplex, 2201 N White Ave, Pomona, CA 91768. Tickets $35–$45; kids 5–10 $5, under 5 free.

California Show-Offs Car Show 2026

Jul 12, 2026 Free The Derby Room at Fairplex, 2201 N…

Airbrushed panels and candy paint read completely differently under show lighting than they do in a parking lot at noon - the detail work that outdoor shows wash out finally gets seen the way the builder intended. That's the whole argument for taking a custom car show indoors, and it's the argument California Show-Offs makes. Held in The Derby Room at the Pomona Fairplex - a venue that has hosted Pomona culture for decades - this show puts custom cars, trucks, motorcycles, and lowriders in a fully indoor, climate-controlled room with professional lighting designed for show vehicles. The intimate setting lets you get up close to the builds, talk to owners, and actually appreciate the custom interior work and engine-bay detail. The show draws builders from across the SoCal scene, so expect everything from fully traditional lowriders to slammed Euro-style customs to lifted trucks. Admission is free, making it one of the most accessible custom car events in the Inland Empire. The Fairplex sits centrally between Los Angeles and the Inland Empire, with ample free parking across the fairground lots. There's no corporate sponsorship and no national touring brand here - just local builders showing their work in front of people who understand what went into it. If you're anywhere near Pomona on a Saturday in July and you care about custom car culture, this is worth the stop.

LA Roadster Show 2026 – Pomona Fairplex

Jun 19 – Jun 20, 2026 Fairplex at Pomona, Pomona, CA

Most car shows mix everything together and call the variety a feature. This one refuses, and the refusal is why it looks the way it does. Roadsters only. Open-body traditional hot rods in the style of the 1930s, 40s and 50s — the shape American car culture keeps returning to. Holding that line for six decades has produced something closer to a living museum than a show field: every car in visual conversation with every other car, no era drift, no exceptions made. The builds carry weight. Many of these have been in the same family for decades, or represent one person's entire lifetime of work on a single machine. The owners are standing right there, and they will tell you. The swap meet runs alongside, filling additional lots with parts, memorabilia, tools and vintage automotive goods for builders and collectors. Fairplex at Pomona. Gates 9 AM both days, ample parking across the fairgrounds, admission at the gate. Bring somebody who thinks they do not care about cars.
