The San Diego Traveler

Opening today and going through July 6 (but closed June 16 & 23), fairgoers can look forward to sports exhibits, sports stars, and interactive sports activities, along with all of the usual festivities. The Fair has partnered with the United States Olympic Committee, San Diego Hall of Champions, the California Surf Museum, Upper Deck and many other organizations to display extensive collections of collegiate and professional sports collectibles, as well as historic Olympic memorabilia.

This year’s fair will also feature rides, monster truck races, crafts and all kinds of exhibits, antique car races, county fair food and refreshments, ostrich and camel races, an exciting assortment of concerts and entertainment (including Fergie and BB King!), the 4H Dog Show, a demolition derby, a Battle of the Bands, beach buggy racing, vendor booths, tuff truck racing, an environmental fair, fireworks, and loads of animals.

See the Fairtime Calendar of Major Events for more day-to-day highlights. See you at the Fair!
