Fun and Games at Esmeralda's Traveling Circus + Giveaway [CONTEST CLOSED]

September 12, 2015

Have you ever been to a circus and wished you would have stayed home and watched a movie? Yeah, I know that feeling all too well!
Fortunately for you, the circus located on Juniper Street at our Fair has a lot of cool things to see and do. Gotta love the Farm! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Here is a rundown of what you could find at Esmeralda’s Traveling Circus:
Camel rides – Most of us have seen and probably fed the camels at Mojo’s Crazy & Wild Lagoon, but have you ever taken a ride on one of these creatures?  If your answer is a no, take a break from all of our deep-fried food and head to the Farm area!
The Conjurer – Need your fortune told? Come visit our Conjurer’s fortune machine! P.S. Our fortune machine is not an actual machine – Conjurer is portrayed by a live character actor.

Mango & Dango – We love this theatrical circus duo’s sense of humor and their specialized technical circus skills.

Venardo’s CircusRingmasters, dancers, aerialists, jugglers and hand balancers all come together at this circus!
Tangled Threads: This dynamic duo will delight and amaze audiences everywhere through an ever-evolving repertoire that includes music, dance, stilt walking, juggling, clowning and much more.
Aerial Arts Circus Show:  Everyone loves a good act – especially if the aerial acrobats have mind-blowing and nail-biting mid-air tricks.

Our sons favorite is the Monster Truck show! We really wish we can attend this year but we don’t have the funds since we are having our sons 1st birthday party tomorrow.

  44. I’d like to go to the LA County Fair this year because I haven’t been able to go the last few years because of a mixture of financial hardship and crazy work schedules. I’m finally at a point where I can get out and have some fun again, but it’s hard to get a group of friends together since everyone has different budgets. The LA County Fair is always amazing and fun, and I’d love to share the experience with my friends who think the “other” fair is the only one they need.

  51. I would love to attend the LA County Fair for three reasons. First, I have never been there and I believe it would be an amazing first experience for my family and me.

My kids will have a fun time getting on all the rides and enjoying the whole experience!

  69. Love this section of obscurity. You have to experience the wierdness to it all!

  70. Because I can’t wait to try all the yummy food!!!!

  71. The Fair has always been the greatest memories I have of my Father(especially him winning drinking cups by landing $.10 inside of them

  72. The fair are the greates memories I have of my father, and to give my children the same memories and experience is priceless .

  73. Love the L.A County Fair. Don’t get to go every year due to work and budgetary concerns, but I would love to take my family, watch my kids’ smiling faces as they enjoy the rides, try some delicious food and just have a really great time.

  74. I would love to take my kids to the fair because I know it would be something they would enjoy. Plus they always say how they remember how there grandma would take them and just splurge on them with whatever they wanted.

  75. I would love to attend the fair this year with 3 of my best friends. We all don’t get to spend much time together since we are all older, married & kids. We used to go each year, but now our schedules don’t permit that.. I’d love to tell them all hey.. i won tickets for US to go, now we have no excuses to all not go together- spouse free kid free!!! A real girls night out… and maybe get matching airbrushed t-shirts again like we did back then.. hahahahahaha

  76. As a college student with low budget, its very difficult for someone like me to attend the LACF since the parking is more expensive ($15) than the admission tickets; if you buy them from a local store like Cardenas or Ralphs ($12). That’s already $27 from my pocket. Take it consideration that’s my parent’s money since college is my only purpose right now. Not only that, wristbands cost $50 for a one day only, i could purchase 36 Ramen maruchas with that, and the food from the LACF just adds up. With this in mind, i wish to win the LACF tickets so i can take my friends and have a great time. I remember 3 years ago when my parents took me, we only visited the animal farm because of low budget. Even though we spent hours at the animal farm that was the best part of the fair, it brought me memories from my hometown and i wish i can do this again this year and maybe some extra fun with does RCS wristbands 😉

  77. My family loves going to the fair from the food to the sea lion show there is something for everyone. My 6 yr old has a blast and my 1 yr old does too. My husband and I wait all year to get some Ten Pound Bun and funnel cake!

  78. I would love to attend the fair because, I’ve made it a yearly tradition to go for my birthday (September 24th) but this year money is really tight for me and my family. I would greatly appreciate to win this contest for my family and I.

  79. I love to see the races, eat the different food, catch the shows with my kids, and this year I want to see Cinnamon at the petting zoo.

  80. Because it’s Grandparents day and what a better treat to take someone who has been taking me since I was a kid for years

  81. OMG I HOPE I WIN

  82. Curious who won.
