Oktoberfest Giveaway Round 2
www.oktoberfestatfairplex.com We spent most of our weekend at Oktoberfest and had a blast. We danced the Chicken Dance, watched competitions of all kinds and celebrated in true German fashion. We had so much fun we decided it was time to share some more Fairplex love. It’s time for: Oktoberfest Giveaway Round 2 Just like last…
From books to brews
Fairplex is the master of transformation. Sure the Staples Center might be able to switch from an ice rink to a basketball court on the fly, but have you ever seen our moves? In 10 days we have transformed the Latin themed Plaza de las Americas into a Bavarian wonderland and the Living Library of…

L.A. Weekender: First Fridays, blacklights and soccer

In addition to our enormous steins of beer we will also have the iPourIt Craft Beer Experience available at Oktoberfest. If you…

The week following the L.A. County Fair always trips me out. During September a walk to the farm means encountering thousands of Fair guests and smelling deep-fried temptations at every corner. Once the Fair is over it feels like a ghost town (albeit a beautiful, peaceful one.) The farm is no longer hidden by food…
Hello, October
Photo courtesy of Dan from freedigitalphotos.net We just wrapped up production of the 91st L.A. County Fair. It was crazy. It was fun. We had a blast. But now as the carnival rides are taken down and the scent of deep-fried food drifts away our attention turns towards Fall: crisp blue skies, changing leaves…
