    Go for the food and Exhibits

    by Linzmom on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    As an annual event, we go to the OC Fair for the food and Exhibits. We have been going for over 30 years and look forward to it. It has changed very little, except there are so many more food choices than ever. We always go for the fried zucchini and the Fish & Chips place which has been moved to the Centennial Farm area. Used to love the 10 lb buns but not as good as they used to be. Also love the lemonade and bacon wrapped fire roasted jalapenos filled with cheese. It's a little pricey, so expect to spend $50 for two people if you share. But I still love it and recommend to all because there is so much to see and enjoy.

    Had a really great time. It was crowded but not uncomfortably crowded.

    OC Fair - Robert Irvine

    by SedonaBnd on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    I haven't paid for entrance into the OC Fair for at least 10 years, so paying to get in on July 26th was a first for me in a long time. I ONLY paid to see Chef Robert Irvine, and I was NOT disappointed! He is the funniest, most out-spoken, straight-forward, sensitive, genuine person I've seen in a long time! It was well worth the wait time, the un-comfortable seating, and the inability to go sign up for the raffles, just to see Chef Irvine, I plan to do it again in November at Anaheim Grove! Great deal OC Fair, if you do it again in 2013, I'll be back, but only if you have Chef Irvine =)

    Earth, Wind , & Fire were awesome!

    by MichiganWolverines on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    We enjoyed the exhibits, shows, the different variety of foods, and of course, watching the great Earth, Wind & Fire perform at the Pacific Amphitheater.

    the food prices were outrageous!!!!!!!!!

    by hbkitty on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    The fact that you pay for parking and admission to the fair so that you go inside and get ripped off by the product vendors and the food vendors is unbelievable. This isn't the nice hometown fair it should be (or use to be) it's just one big mega ripoff!! And the food isn't even that great!!! I'll have to think long and hard about going to the fair next year!

    Show was great fair was meh

    by Tiladana on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    Chef Robert Irvine was great, he had me laughing the entire time. The fair was disappointing. I thought the food was was over priced, $4.75 for corn. The games were ridiculous, one attempt for $5. I was hoping to see craft vendors but had to look very hard to find non commercial vendors. On the flip side the contest winners displayed entries were interesting to look at, I just wish I could have sampled some of that pie. All and all I would not go to the fair except to see a featured show. If you do go to a show be sure to get there early if you do not have assigned seating because they fill up quick.

    The OC is great but too expensive

    by shortyn007 on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    Don't get me wrong, the OC fair is a great place to hangout, have fun, eat delicious food, but the prices have gone up since last year. They should have more days or longer unlimited rides wristband available

    OC Fair is a Summer MUST

    by KimYunA on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    The environment was friendly and there was so much to do! I took my kids there and they had a blast at the farm with the animals up so close, the crazy adrenaline-rushed rides, the awesome shows/ galleries, and the guilty pleasure foods!

    Was pretty fun

    by ChauTruong on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    OC Fair was a fun experience. It was my first time going with my girlfriend and we enjoyed it. We didn't ride the rides or anything because it's a bit pricey, but we still enjoyed our time there. We walked around all day looking at attractions, products, art galleries, and the petting zoo. All in all, it was fun.

    A Fun Night Out

    by GoGetterGina on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    Overall, it was super fun. The only thing that suck is buy the tickets, luckily I bought my ticket online and skip all the waiting. Food options were plentiful, my suggestion is going thru all the park and see all the food vendors and make a final decision of what you want to eat. Best time to go is at night time because it can get too hot, the only hassle is finding parking though. Games were a little too pricey, they need to cut some slack on that.... or maybe I am just too cheap. Great fun times and food and entertainment. Came home with a toy giraffe ;D

    Live Music and Good Times

    by JTBC251 on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    My wife and I drove over a 100 miles to enjoy this event. We saw 1st Rodeo play in The Hanger and the band was AWESOME! If you enjoy good home grown all American 100% made in the USA country rock and roll music then 1st Rodeo is for you. Check them out on Facebook and "like" the band page Their music is down home hard driven country rock and the band was so tight they squeaked! The fair overall was fun and we had a great day it was well worth the drive.

    Fun for the Whole Family

    by CuzacksMom on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    My mom, my 5yr old son and I loved the fair. There was something for all of us. Rides and farm animals for my son. The shopping for my mom, and the music and beer for me. We all enjoyed all the food and loved the weather. Sunny with a nice cool breeze. My son loved all the art stuff to do, making leather braclettes, watching how to milk cows, getting his face painted, listening to the music shows, the dragon show as well as the camp area. He loved the circus and the budwieser horses. And he climbed the rock wall for the first time. We had so much fun we went twice. Great times had by all!!!

    It was fun, but money does goes fast at the fair. I spent about $120 for just two people, but overall entertaining and a full day adventure.

    A wonderful time.

    by Edawg43 on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    Needs more water fans but the rides and exhibits were top notch and insightful. No lines at the concession stands.

    The GunBoat Kings

    by GBKFan on 8/14/12OC Fair & Event Center - Costa Mesa

    They are the best originals band in southern California. They have the richest harmonies and both the sax and guitar player really ready it up. Good thing they play locally, we are planning on seeing them at the Coach House in November with Dave Mason. What a great experience! I'd go to the fair just to see them! GBK Fan
