Final weekend of the 2018 OC Fair

COSTA MESA (Aug. 10, 2018) – Just three days left to win that giant panda, eat that bacon-wrapped treat on a stick and enjoy boundless entertainment until midnight.

The 2018 OC Fair is quickly coming to an end, but there’s still time for another visit to California’s best fair before the carnival lights go dim and the racing pigs head back to their training center.

Weekend deals abound! Today is Senior Day, so guests 60 and older get in for just $5 all day. It’s also $2 rides and $2 games noon-4 p.m. and active duty military and veterans always get free OC Fair admission. Saturday and Sunday bring the last two days of half-price general admission 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and great carnival specials, including an unlimited $35 wristband sold Sunday until 1 p.m. (ride until 4 p.m.).

Grab the OC Fair Express bus from one of nine Orange County locations on Saturday and Sunday and ride for $4 round-trip and receive a coupon for $4 fair admission. Details are at ocfairexpress.com. There is also free parking and a free shuttle from Experian in Costa Mesa – these are fantastic ways to help reduce traffic and conveniently and safely get to the Fair.

The Fair closes Aug. 12, but the Pacific Amphitheatre concert season continues with post-Fair shows through Sept. 8. Upcoming concerts are Stray Cats/Chery Poppin’ Daddies (Aug. 16.), Stray Cats/The Paladins (Aug. 17 – sold out), Pacific Symphony’s E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: In Concert (Aug. 18), Ziggy Marley/The Green/Josh Heinrichs (Aug. 19), Thievery Corporation/Steel Pulse/Simpkin Project (Aug. 24), Phillip Phillips/Gavin DeGraw (Aug. 25) and Pacific Symphony’s Tchaikovsky Fireworks Spectacular (Sept. 8).
