Summer in San Diego Series: The Fair!!


For the 3rd installment of Summer in San Diego, I take you to the San Diego County Fair! If you are ever in San Diego in June, you must must must visit the fair. You can feel the vibe of summer in the air as you walk along the streets, eating food, going on rides, listening to live music, and seeing the animals!



They had fried everything there. I tried to the fried pickles which were actually pretty good. What I didn't try was fried butter, fried oreos, fried brownies, fried twinkies, and chocolate covered bacon. 




The animals are a huge part of the fair. People enter their livestock for competition. You can even ride an elephant or watch the turkey race!



 And when you get tired of eating and walking around, take a break and play a game or jump on a ride.


There's so much there to see. Concerts in the evening, art exhibits, tons of shops, and more!

If you missed the first two Summer in San Diego post you can find them here.

  1. That looks like so much fun! I've wanted to try some of that fried food for a while, mostly the pickles and the oreos. Your county fair reminds me of the PNE that we have out here. Similar stuff to do and see, and I've never been.

  3. Oh my gosh, I love fried pickles! There is a restaurant here that sells them :) I have never tried fried butter though (Wouldn't it melt in the fryer?)hehe! That fair looks like so much fun! I used to love that game where you have to throw the ping pong ball into one of the glass jars to win a prize! :)
