Contests and Competitions
There’s nothing like the spirit of competition and that’s certainly present this year at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Spanning from pie-eating and sock puppet design to extreme rodeo and advanced robotics, competition runs rampant at the various contests throughout the 2017 San Diego County Fair.

Fair Festivals
Celebrating various cultures, from those based in heritage and tradition to those based in entertainment and libations, these festivals diversify and redefine the typical fair experience. For example, the Asian Festival brings martials arts, traditional dance, and other artistic endeavors from a variety of traditional Asian cultures to the forefront on the opening weekend of the fair. Other festivals include Gospel, Bluegrass, Country Music, and more.

Sweet Treats
This year the big behemoth of fair food looks to be combining the contrasting flavors of savory and sweet once again with the Krispy Kreme Fried Chicken Ice Cream Sandwich. Don’t want to take it that far? Peanut-Butter Meatballs also top the list of fair food must-haves. Both of these are available now at the San Diego County Fair.
