Los Angeles County Fair

About the Event

The 2024 LA County Fair celebrates the medley of communities that comprise Los Angeles County with its theme Stars, Stripes & Fun.

LA County is one of the most diverse counties in the nation, brimming with a mix of cultures and communities, and the LA County Fair celebrates them all! Through song and dance, awe-inspiring exhibits and the enticing aroma of everything from corn dogs to turkey legs, tacos to red beans and rice, plantains to funnel cake, the Fair honors LA County with Stars, Stripes & Fun.

The 16-day event opens May 3. Don't miss new attractions, the thrills of the carnival, musical entertainment in every corner of the fairgrounds and, of course, lots and lots of food.
