The OC Fair

The annual OC Fair is Orange County’s largest gathering of the year, with over 1 million people from all over California and beyond celebrating the best of the community. Opening in mid-July and running through mid-August each year, the OC Fair is a veritable feast for the senses – sights, sounds, tastes and smells that entertain, educate and delight.

The OC Fair has grown from a small, three-day celebration to a 23-day festival that is one of Orange County’s most eagerly awaited annual events. The fair is just what one would expect from a county fair – food, drink, carnival rides, games, entertainment, fun and educational exhibits, animals and much, much more. The fair is an opportunity to gather together and make memories.

The Pacific Amphitheater, The Hangar and the Action Sports Arena provide top notch entertainment, while gastronomical delights can be found throughout the fairgrounds. Award winning wines from the OC Fair Commercial Wine Competition are served at the Wine Courtyard, run by the Orange County Wine Society, and introduce fairgoers to the wineries that enter the competition each year.

Nowhere but at the OC Fair can you find such a celebration of community. And it happens every summer in Costa Mesa at the OC Fair & Event Center. For more information, visit www.ocfair.com.
