For the first time since before the Pandemic, the San Diego County Fair is welcoming fans back to the Del Mar Fairgrounds for a full-sized event.
DEL MAR, Calif. - This year, the theme is"Heroes Reunite," as the fair will honor everyday fictional heroes as well as real-life heroes like first responders, doctors, and teachers."We've Been working with the Comic-con Museum. They're going to be here on site, some cosplayers. So I think you're going to really get that sense of hero," says Jacky Esheoby, the Fair's Agricultural and Education Director.
There are some changes for this year. Daily attendance will be capped at 50,000 people. Tickets and parking must all be purchased in advance, either online or at several retail locations around the county, and most of the fair is cashless. "I want to go on the Gravitron because it's my favorite," says Sergio Castaneda."And I want to at least get on every single ride before we leave."
