The 2010 OC Fair, open Wednesday-Sunday, will feature the premiere of a 120th anniversary exhibit showcasing a decade-by-decade look into Orange County’s favorite tradition. This year’s theme, “The Beat Goes On,” honors the heart of Orange County – the OC Fair – as it continues to beat.

The Fair is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
The Fair would not be the Fair without its abundance of food. Everything under the sun that can be deep-fried, on a stick and so much more. Approximately 80 vendors offer a variety of food choices, including colossal Mexican funnel cakes, giant turkey legs, mile-long hot dogs, cinnamon rolls, frozen lemonade, deep-fried Smore’s, chocolate-covered bacon, roasted corn and much more.

I promised my 3 year-old I’d take her to a county fair so she can finally see all the farm animals in person – she’s only seen them in books.
The animals, the food, and that it’s super fun for the kids

Nothing like deep fried food in the summer. My friends tell me about this fair all the time. Would love to check it out for myself.
Every year they come up with something new and outrageous to fry and sell. Last year my favorite item was the deep-fried White Castle burger. EWWWWWW. ha ha
What is NOT to like about a county fair? kettle corn, corn dogs & corn on the cob…neon lights and ferris wheels at night…the sounds of all the gaming booths…stuffed animals!…getting dizzy from rides…it’s all amazing! -Stacey

The cheap prizes and corn dogs and the fact that it’s always hot! I’m a summer baby and nothing beats a hot summer’s day!
I love the good vibe at fairs. People are there to have a good time, eat fatty foods without regret and soil their hands petting farm animals. What else could be better in this world?
I like the animals the most, then the food exhibits

I like all the crazy yummy food stands!
Go to the OC Fair every year for a show or two, and ALWAYS for the deep fried oreos! YUM!
My favorite part of the fair is definitely the food! A close second is the agricultural stuff. We don’t really have a lot of “country” here.

I love the rides, the people, the food.. the OC fair is the best entertainment!
I love the fair because it brings together the large community of Orange County in one unified experience. Everyone goes and it is a topic of conversation that anyone can jump in to. It also embodies summer for me. I know summer is on its way once I see the Giant Ferris Wheel being built.

I love the food! Corn on the cob, pickles, pop corn…..
I have yet to go to a County Fair with my kids… (I know, bad mommy, bad mommy) I haven’t been to a county fair in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOg time, so from what I remember what I love best about the county fairs are the trinkets and stuff you find there!
