The Los Angeles County Fair (LACF) runs this year from August 29th thru September 28th at the Pomona Fairplex and it kicks off its 92nd anniversary by opening its doors to new worlds of discovery, where oversized custom-built lanterns abound; where zonkeys and kangaroos roam; where award-winning beer and wine can be sampled; where world-class entertainment takes the stage.

Returning fan favorites include the Carnival with more than 70 exciting rides; Esmeralda’s Traveling Circus with trapeze and aerial acts performing death-defying stunts; the Flower & Garden Pavilion highlighting the flora and fauna of China; and tasting classes and sampling at the Wine, Spirits & Beer Marketplace.

The all-new Hall of Heroes celebrates the science behind beloved superheroes of comic book and real-life fame. Enter LACF’s Metropolis and come face to face with Batman, Spiderman and Superman as well as the law enforcement officers who risk their lives every day to protect and serve.
Animals abound at Mojo’s Wild & Crazy Lagoon. LACF’s resident Weeper Capuchin monkey, Mojo, and her friends have a new home on the water and are primed to engage in some monkey business. Also catch sea lions at Beneath the Sea and read your way to adventure in America’s Kids, where we are celebrating  the  exciting worlds of children’s literature.

The Farm at Fairplex is growing – literally – with the addition of three more acres and hundreds of California specialty crops. A must-have this year at the Farmhouse Grill is the new wood-grilled flat bread filled with a variety of toppings harvested from LACF’s organic farm. Add in our Big Red Barn full of animals, and you have agri-tainment at its best.
