The Orange County Fair runs from July 15-August 14 with a Super Pass available, offering access every single day, for just $35. There are nine pickup locations around the OC area for just $2 each way and a special $3 daily admissions price for those who travel green. At the Pacific Amphitheater, fair concerts are well underway, and in August you’ll find Michael Franti and Spearhead, Train, Chris Young, The B-52s, Ziggy Marley and more performing.
The Hangar is where you can find even more live entertainment including tributes to Neil Diamond and the Bee Gees. At Action Sports Arena, check out rodeos, broncs and bulls nights, demolition derbies, the emergency pursuit derby, and motor home madness. Special events throughout the fairgrounds include the 5k Fun Run on August 14, community flag salutes throughout August, and the Courtyard Wine Seminars, where $3 gets you 2 oz. tasters.
