    LA County Fair kicks off season with ‘Stars, Stripes, and Fun’
    • May 4, 2024

    The farm animals have arrived, the deep-fried delights are being served, and good ol’ classic fair fun is now underway.

    Yep, the LA County Fair kicked off Friday evening, May 3, for its 102nd year of celebrations.

    Americana will be in focus through the month-long run at Fairplex in Pomona as this year’s theme “Stars, Stripes, and Fun” pays homage to history and the communities in Southern California.

    From the Ferris wheel to the Garden Railroad and roller skating to reptiles, there’s something for everyone. This year’s fair runs through Memorial Day, May 27. It’s open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., Thursday through Sunday, plus Memorial Day Monday.
