Each weekend a new festival arrives at the Fair. Opening Weekend welcomed Crafter’s Village, a marketplace of unique handmade items nestled between the bungee jump and Pets Ahoy. Of course you’ll find the typical mish mash of clothing, accessories and sportswear, all of which are great buys but there were a few vendors that really…
Sunday Funday Shopping
Amongst the flurry of activity going on at the Fair today, Plaza de las Americas has come to life with the Festival Latinoamericano de Arte y Folklore. The festival is going on from today (Sept. 2) until tomorrow and it’s jam packed with talented musicians, fun shopping booths and other activities. The Plaza de las Americas…

Today we want to give our readers an inside look at Crafter’s Village. Located just across from Pets Ahoy, Crafter’s Village is a colorful combination of clothing, household…
East Meets West at the Asian Festival
Our last weekend at the Fair is also our last cultural festival. We welcome this mini Asian marketplace to our grounds this weekend. There will be great shopping (imagine if you could bring the amazing shops of Little Tokyo, China Town and Korea Town together in one place) and some fantastic entertainment. Food vendors will…
Shop ’Til You Drop
“We’ve got everything want all under one roof!” It sounds like a cheesy commercial, but it’s actually true at the Fair. Well, maybe not under a roof, but definitely within our 543 acres. In the market for a new car? Got ‘em! Looking for clothes, handbags, hats and other accessories? All right here. Want to…

The products include everything from the practical to the incredible. The two highlighted today are fashionable—one that’s creative and the other that’s doing good in Africa. Nail art is…
Before…
In order for you Fair fiends (hey, Gaga has Little Monsters, the Fair-ey Blogster has Fair Fiends) to get an idea of how we transform our 543-acre grounds into the world’s largest county fair, I’m going to share some transformation photos with you. While the conceptualizing and planning of each Fair begins a year or two…
Why, Yes, I Do Enjoy Shopping at the Fair, Thank You
Unfortunately for Mr. Fair-ey Blogster, I love to shop at the Fair. It’s my favorite thing about the Fair (with the exception of eating a Hot Dog on a Stick). I love to walk through the shopping halls and see what interesting items I can buy and what’s new. Got my mom a tortilla warmer…
No GPS Needed to Navigate Our Fair
When you visit the L.A. County Fair this year, you’ll notice something is a little different. Actually, a LOT of things are different! We’ve been building, moving, grading, shifting and lifting many things around the grounds to make all areas of the Fair easier for our guests to navigate. We are shaping up beautifully and…
70 Days 'Til Pure.Fun.
Holy cow! Does the counter on the L.A. County Fair website really say 70 days until the Fair?! Yes, it does. That’s only 1,680 hours away (actually, about 1,677). And have we got a show in store for you! We are so excited about the new attractions, Fair favorites (Hot Dog on a Stick! I…
