Top Ten Ways to Give Back at the Fair

Southern Californians are a charitable bunch. So we thought we’d direct your attention to some simple ways to help your community while also having fun at the Fair.
10. Make a Wish: Toss in your spare change and make a wish at the pond outside the Flower & Garden Pavilion. All change will be are donated to The Learning Centers at Fairplex (TLC).
9. Take a Turn: The L.A. County Fair’s Venetian Carousel gives everyone a ride down memory lane while carnival partner RCS helps fund the future. Net proceeds from the carousel are donated to The Learning Centers at Fairplex (TLC).
8. Community Days: Every weekday of the Fair we celebrate a different community, each of which help give back in their own way!  Wednesdays help bring school children to the Fair, Thursdays provide books to people of all ages and Fridays help feed the hungry.
7. Make a Donation: Make a tax-deductible donation directly to The Learning Centers and help us provide relevant educational programming. You can do so at any entrance when you purchase your tickets.
