The OC Fair starts today and everyone is invited to come out and "Free their Inner Farmer!" The theme of the 128th annual Fair is a salute to the people who put food on our tables and nourish our spirits.
The gates open at noon and close at midnight today. The Fair runs through Aug. 12, open Wednesday through Sunday.
There are deals every day of the Fair, including today's free admission and parking until 3 p.m. promotion. New this year is Overalls Day – every Thursday all fairgoers wearing overalls get in free from noon to 3 p.m. Visit ocfair.com/deals for all the great discounts. Fair season means its time for guests to carry on with their family traditions of playing in the fountain, seeing the Russell Bros. Circus, watching the pig races, cheering on the demolition derbies, snapping selfies and singing along with their favorite tribute bands.
All this only-at-the-OC Fair fun, food and entertainment comes just once a year!
