Announcing LA County Fair Theme and Dates for 2024! ⭐️

The 102^nd LA County Fair will celebrate the medley of communities that comprise Los Angeles County with its 2024 theme Stars, Stripes and Fun. Fair dates will be May 3-27, 2024.

LA County is one of the most diverse counties in the nation, brimming with a mix of cultures and communities, and the LA County Fair celebrates them all. Through song and dance, awe-inspiring exhibits and the enticing aroma of everything from corn dogs to turkey legs, tacos to red beans and rice, plantains to funnel cake, the Fair honors LA County with Stars, Stripes and Fun.

The 16-day event opens the first Friday of May, the third year in its permanent shift to the spring season, with new attractions, honored partnerships and, of course, lots and lots of food. But the main component, as always, is fun!

“County fairs are a community celebration, and county and state fairs across the nation reflect the unique characteristics of all their communities. Fairs celebrate people in all our wonderful and intriguing variety,” said Walter Marquez, President & CEO of Fairplex, home of the LA County Fair. “We are excited to embrace Southern California’s cultural mosaic with Stars, Stripes and Fun.”
