2020 OC Fair theme announced: All for Fun!


COSTA MESA (Nov. 21, 2019) – The 2020 OC Fair will celebrate the community coming together to enjoy the best of summer: All for Fun!

Fairgoers are invited to spend the day together at the crossroads of culture, agriculture, entertainment and commerce. Come as you are, make memories and create traditions at the OC Fair.

“There is so much going on today. We might feel divided, we are probably busy and we long for connection. What’s better than a county fair to bring fun, togetherness and a sense of community?” said Michele Richards, OC Fair & Event Center Interim CEO. “It means so much to the staff to put on this remarkable Fair and to see the joy on the faces of our guests. That’s why we do this, and that’s why we love it.”

The theme was previewed at the OC Fair Board meeting today. This will be the first of a three-year series of fair themes focusing on inclusiveness and celebrating the diverse aspects of Southern California that bring us all together.

The 2020 OC Fair will run from July 17 to Aug. 16, Wednesday through Sunday. There will be deals and discounts offered each of the 23 days of the Fair and more rolled out on social media. There is always a way to save, such as We Care Wednesdays, when fairgoers can get free admission with a donation of school supplies, nonperishable food, children’s books or clothing on designated Wednesdays from noon to 3 p.m.

Super Passes offer the best way to get the most out of the Fair – plus get deals on shows and attractions – and will go on sale in December. Tickets to the OC Fair will also be available in December and there are no fees for advance and online purchases. Visit ocfair.com to get more information and buy tickets and passes.

The first announcements of concerts in Pacific Amphitheatre, The Hangar and shows in Action Sports Arena will begin on Dec. 4.
