I&#8217;m&#8230;well, I&#8217;m overwhelmed by all this. If the Fair looks this fantastic at 90, I&#8217;m hopeful for my future. I can just see it. &#8220;Why, Fair-ey Blogster, you don&#8217;t look a day over 75!&#8221; &#8220;Yes, and I&#8217;m actually 103. It&#8217;s all those hot dogs on a stick I enjoyed at the L.A. County Fair.&#8221;<br \/>\nSeriously, with only 63 days to go, it isn&#8217;t too early to plan your visit. We open on Friday, Aug. 31 &#8211; the earliest opening date ever for the Fair. We just couldn&#8217;t wait until September to see you! Opening weekend, Labor Day weekend, we have a ton of great savings and promotions.

There are soft drink and carnival ride savings, too.

We had a ton of people ask for the parking addition, so I think this will be very popular. You can still the admission pass without parking if you&#8217;d like.<br \/>\nThere are a ton of special event days, including pre-Fair blood drives where donors receive a free ticket to the fair, so make sure you check out the entire calendar.
