The San Diego County Fair is back! Don’t miss San Diegans’ favorite summer pastime – Where the West is Fun is this year’s theme presented by Albertsons/Vons. The fair runs from June 2-July 4 offering a stampede of fun, food and entertainment. The Fair is closed the first four Mondays and the first three Tuesdays.
The Western theme is featured throughout the Fair, focusing on the culture of the region from the 1880s and merging it with pop culture elements inspired by it. For many people, the recollection of the West was formed by movies and TV shows, names of favorite sports teams and even toys like “Woody” from the movie Toy Story. But the story begins at the beginning with the Original People of this western land, their lifestyle, preserved lands and culture which also will be exhibited in various ways throughout the Fair.
There will be country music, a rodeo, Fiesta del Charro, a Frontier Town and a themed exhibit with a saloon, art and history displays about this period of time in America.
Where the West is Fun is a creative way to bring the Fair to life, but the tried and true standards that fair guests love, year after year will still be at the San Diego County Fair, like music at the grandstand stage, Fair food extremes and traditions, exhibits by children and hobbyists, and displays of California agriculture, which was the original purpose of the annual Fair.
