The 2019 OC Fair theme celebrates the county's agricultural roots and invites everyone to enjoy "Acres of Fun" July 12-Aug. 11.
Save money at the OC Fair! Discounts are honored during the specified time frame. Check out the tips below:
- On opening day, parking and admission are free from noon to 3 p.m.
- If you plan to come to the OC Fair more than once, you need a Super Pass. For one low price, fairgoers can come to all 23 days of the Fair. Through May 31, general admission Super Passes are $35, seniors (60+) and youth (ages 6-12) passes are just $28. OC Fair general admission is $12 Wednesday through Friday and $14 on weekends. Senior and youth admission is $7 every day. Visit ocfair.com/superpass.
- Tip 3 - Enter competitions and get free admission. If you are a table-setting virtuoso, an extraordinary avocado grower or a top-notch cake baker, this is the way to go. New this year, the OC Fair Exhibitor Renaissance Award will recognize an adult and a youth competitor with multiple skill sets. More information is at ocfair.com/competitions.
