MK Giveaway: LA County Fair Goes POP! Opens This Weekend

At the Pomona Fairplex Aug. 30 to Sept. 22

August 29, 2019

Celebrate decades of cultural phenomena as the 2019 LA County Fair Goes Pop! From art to clothes to technology and toys, the Fair takes a deep dive into Pop Culture, with a spotlight on Los Angeles’ influence. Immerse yourself in delights, décor and doohickeys from the 1950s on – frozen dinners, Elvis the Pelvis, the squawk box, space flight, disco, Andy Warhol, electric cars and phones made for yapping that also set the toes a tappin’. The Fair is where nostalgia and relevancy collide!

And building on the success of last year, the Fair is concentrating on value: the popular $6.50 Value Menu is back and admission prices will not increase. Plus, the Fair will celebrate specially priced community days for Los Angeles County and Inland Empire residents. This year’s theme is sure to offer a great time for everyone.

When the Fair Goes Pop, guests can stroll among giant iconic LA art installations or dance at a modern- day Studio 54 at the Silent Disco, both on The Hillside; trek through memory lane with toys from years past at Toytopia, including a giant Etch-A-Sketch and life-sized Monopoly game; experience an explosion of pigmentation as the Flower & Garden Pavilion bursts in Pops of Color; and play among the collision of technology and pop culture in Popnology 2.0, where science fiction becomes science fact.

New for 2019, each weekend will include a music festival – Fusion Fest – on the infield featuring the diversity of LA County.

The Fair will also feature its carnival, operated by Ray Cammack Shows; farm animals; food; E-Sports Gaming; a Halloween exhibit; shopping and more. The Pop Life never ends at the Fair. All attractions, with the exception of the Carnival and reserved seats at concerts, are included with the price of admission.
