Pow! Wham! Shazam! Superheroes are the stars of this year’s San Diego County Fair...from the action-packed pop culture superheroes from comic books and the silver screen, to those awe-inspiring Community Heroes we’ve found right in our own neighborhoods.
 
Soar through the air on adrenaline-pumping carnival rides, strike a power pose with your favorite superheroes, taste your way through the Fair’s superfoods, and discover entertainment surprises around every corner.

All Fair Admission & Parking tickets must be purchased online in advance.
To better serve Fair guests, the San Diego County Fair is moving to a cashless payment experience. Cashless payments are safer and faster, too–avoid wait times at the gate and spend more time enjoying the Fair!

2022 Sun & Sea Festival takes place July 15-16th. See the biggest sandcastles on Imperial Beach’s sand or watch the Kids-n-Kastles contest.

Come see what Natural Philosophers thought about Sea Monsters in the Victorian age. The new exhibit, Sea Monsters: Delving into the Deep Myth, staged aboard the world’s oldest active sailing ship, Star of India, is a call to explorers of all ages. Do you believe Sea Monsters actually exist? Where do you find Sea Monsters? Why do we believe in Sea Monsters? Come to discover, make time to play.
