The fair, which comes to a close Monday, saw a daily average attendance of 46,000
Lyndsay Preza has been coming to the San Diego County Fair for 14 years with her fiancé. The Fallbrook resident used to come with her grandparents, too.
One of San Diego’s favorite traditions will wrap up on Monday. The 21-day fair ran six days shorter than in 2019, and daily attendance was down from what it was before COVID-19 struck. This year’s numbers met fair officials’ goals, which were set lower than in 2019 partly because of nationwide supply-chain issues and staffing shortages, Hellman said.
Hellman also noted that far fewer complimentary fair tickets were distributed this year and discount ticket sales were switched from in-person sales at grocery stores to online discount codes. On Sunday, hundreds of people lined up at the fair gates before opening. By noon, Interstate 5 North was backed up with cars queued to get into parking lots.Upon entering the front gates, guests were greeted with the smell of smoked turkey legs roasting in the sun and of popping kettle corn.
