They say that the older you get, the faster the time flies. That seems to be the truth since the 91st L.A. County Fair is already over! We are so glad you were able to join us for a month of deep-fried food, shopping galore, animals both exotic and farm-based and an endless array of…
Last week of Fair… are you ready?
We officially have 5 days left of the Fair. It seems like only yesterday that we were welcoming in the sea lions and setting up Pencils 2 Pixels and yet somehow, we have reached the last week at the speed of light. In case you haven’t had a chance to check out everything, here are…
Battle of the Bands Semi-Finals
We are in the throes of a talent war: Battle of the Bands 2013. Our second annual competition brought local high-school and college bands to the Fair to rock out and compete for a spot at Vans Warped Tour. The talent is fierce and the competition is steep. Last year the judges liked all the…
Swimming with the sea lions…
We took our GoPro for a little swim during the Sea Lion Splash show last week. They didn’t seem to mind. Check it out!
Does she look familiar?
We had a visitor at the Fair office today! You might recognize this cutie from our Unleash Your Inner Fair posters… she was our little pig girl! She stopped by to say hello on her way into the Fair and we couldn’t resist getting this picture of her. Thanks for stopping by!

C'mon baby, do the locamotion
We stopped by the Fairplex Garden Railroad this morning to say hello and check out all the new miniatures on the landscape. Our railroad is run completely by volunteers–people who genuinely love miniature trains and devote hours of their time to making sure our railroad looks pristine year-round! We posted this GoPro video last year,…

Would YOU bungee?
Happy Sunday Funday! Sunday is a time for relaxation… a lazy stroll through the air-conditioned halls of Shopping Place, a breezy ride on the Ferris wheel, eating caramel corn and sipping on a smoothie (or a margarita.) Or if you’re ready to squeeze in a few more thrills before Monday rears its ugly head, you…
Chinese Circus of Beijing
Discipline. Strength. Talent. The Chinese Circus of Beijing is a Fair staple and one of the best parts of Shopping Place! Each day of the Fair, Chinese acrobats perform and wow guests with their gravity-defying flips and twirls. The show includes balancing acts as well, everything from balancing on a house of cards to a…
