The OC Fair is excited to announce that “Find Your Happy” is the theme of the 2025 festival that will run July 18-Aug. 17, promising to be an opportunity to gather together and make memories, let go and have fun.

“There is nothing that brings us more joy than putting on the annual OC Fair and seeing the smiles and memories that this amazing event provides for the community,” said OC Fair Board Chair Nick Kovacevich. “I know that next summer people from all over Southern California will ‘find their happy’ at the Fair.” 

The 2024 OC Fair had an attendance of 1,137,555 with 12 days that exceeded 50,000 fairgoers and nine of those were total sell-outs.

Upcoming shows in Pacific Amphitheatre, The Hangar and Action Sports Arena will be on sale in the coming months, and updates will be available on ocfair.com. Tickets to performances July 18-Aug. 17 include same-day OC Fair admission so guests can enjoy all the festivities.

The OC Fair will be looking for local talent and businesses to add a special touch to the 2025 event. Community entertainment (unpaid) applications will soon be open and accepted at ocfair.com/oc-fair/be-a-part-of-the-fair/community-entertainment/. Applications for vendors and concessionaires will be available at ocfair.com/oc-fair/be-a-part-of-the-fair/vendors/. Sponsorship and marketing information is located at ocfair.com/oc-fair/sponsors/.

Artisans can show off their skills in the annual OC Fair community competitions in fine art, photography, handcrafts, woodworking, culinary, agriculture competitions and more, which will again reward many local participants with blue ribbons and bragging rights.
