May Fairs 2024

With  58 counties in California, fair fun starts as early as February and ends in late October. May is truly a golden month when fairs begin to blossom. Summer vacations aren't in full swing yet and the weather generally cooperates so you can beat the heat and enjoy shorter times waiting in lines. If you love fairs (as millions of Californians do,) you'll be glad to know that the biggest fair in the state (Los Angeles County) begins in May, permanently leaving behind Labor Day launch. Fairs offer many things: sinful foods, wow entertainment, furry critters-- chicks, pigs, & goats--thrilling carnival rides and the latest, greatest gadgets. No prepping  is necessary for your attendance. Just put on some duds and drink icy suds at the fair you've grown to love.
