Experience one of San Diego’s most beloved summer traditions at the San Diego County Fair. Returning from June 10 through July 5, 2026 (closed Mondays and Tuesdays), this iconic event brings together classic fair food, live entertainment, carnival rides, exhibits, and family-friendly fun at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

From indulgent treats and local vendors to concerts and attractions for all ages, the fair offers something for everyone to enjoy. It’s the perfect way to spend a summer day soaking in the energy and excitement of San Diego.
