Expect the unexpected at the L.A. County Fair in addition to all the fun things you know and love. It’s filled with Pure Surprises and Pure Diversity. The 88th anniversary of the Fair opens Labor Day weekend, continuing through Oct. 3, with attractions, entertainment, shopping and the best eats you’ll find in L.A. County (at least for 23 days!) – all at an affordable price.
New for 2010 is an exciting, fascinating and educational attraction - Our Body: The Universe Within. More than 30 human specimens and organs will be displayed showing the fascinating interworking of the human body; and Western Days & Rodeo Nights comes to FairView Farms with a plethora of wild and wooly western events; Esmeralda’s Traveling Circus joins the lineup each day with fun and interaction with guests; Jurassic Planet returns with an amazing array of animatronics dinosaurs, a paleontologist, fossil digs and a few surprises too. FairView Farms, presented by McDonald’s, is quite simply the best farm you’ll ever see with animals, shows, demonstrations and in-house ambassador Sky Shivers meeting and greeting guests while providing entertaining and informative insight. There’s even an Urban Garden to inspire and entice healthy eating habits.
We’ve got A Pirate’s Life; Mojo’s Jungle featuring Mojo’s Monkey Mania; America’s Kids with a medieval trip to A Time Long Ago, presented by King Taco; a Gypsy Camp with sword swallowers; and Ray Cammack Shows carnival, the best in the land with 70 spectacular rides and more than 40 games of skill; an amazing Flower & Garden Pavilion that will stimulate the senses with its floral beauty, themed Celebrate Mexico; and the Millard Sheets Center for the Arts* that will take visitors From the Industrial Age to the Computer Age . . . Three Centuries of Artistic Innovation.
The Shopping Place Express Shuttle, presented by Jeffrey Scott® Fine Magnetics, will transport shoppers to the dedicated shopping area from Yellow Gate and back for Pure Convenience. More than
600 vendors will be onsite with 1,045 spaces filled with new must-have items and returning favorites - a perfect opportunity to get a jump on the holiday shopping list.
The End of Summer Concert Series will definitely rock you. You’ll find the biggest names in entertainment including Selena Gomez And the Scene, Darius Rucker, Daryl Hall & John Oates and Teena Marie, Heatwave and Lenny Williams. The lineup presents some extreme monster truck and motocross action, R&B and a MARIACHI USA® Fiesta. This 19-night lineup, presented by Toyota, is Pure-Not-To-Be-Missed.
