Banner Program
Businesses, clubs, organizations, families and individuals are offered the opportunity to purchase and advertise on souvenir L.A. County Fair street banners, which are displayed along major streets in Southern California.
Bus Sponsorship Program
With nearly 100,000 students, teachers and chaperones expected to enter the grounds of the L.A. County Fair as part of the FairKids Discovery Club, the bus sponsorship program is definitely a success. But just imagine how many more children would flood through if there were more buses to transport them? Funding more buses is one of the goals set forth this year by the Fairplex Education Foundation.
Community Days
The Fair salutes 18 different communities surrounding Fairplex each Wednesday-Friday of the Fair. Each honored city’s dignitaries, special heroes, local talent and youth are spotlighted at the Fair. Each hero is recognized in a special ceremony and presented with certificates, plaques and awards.
