After being canceled for the past two years because of the pandemic, the Los Angeles County Fair returns today to the Pomona Fairplex to celebrate its 100th anniversary.
Highlights this year include the return of the Lost Levels Arcade, featuring classing arcade machines from the 1980s and the Culture of the Low and the Slow lowrider lifestyle exhibit. There will also be more than 60 carnival rides.
Other features include the Haunt Supershow, the Flower and Garden Pavilion and the Big Red Barn's petting zoo. There will also be a lumberjack show, part of the America's Great Outdoors exhibit. "You can definitely plan ahead, you can come here and eat three meals a day, for a run of the fair, and not eat the same thing twice," Fairplex Chief of Staff Cielo Castro told CBSLA Thursday.
The fair will also be holding concerts this year, with performers including Lady A, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Beach Boys and ZZ Top. Hours are 11 a.m. through 11 p.m. Thursday through Sunday and on Memorial Day. It will be closed Mondays through Wednesdays. Admission for those age 13-59 ranges from $20 to $25 depending on whether you purchase your ticket online or in person. Children ages 6-12 get in for $8 to $12, while children 5 and under get in for free. Tickets for seniors 60 and older run from $8 to $15.
