Located in Costa Mesa, the OC Fair & Event Center is home to numerous Orange County events throughout the year, notably including the UVSA Tet Festival (February), 626 Night Market (various dates May to August), Orange County Fair (mid-July to mid-August), and Winter Fest (November to early January), as well as a weekly Thursday Farmers Market. The sprawling grounds have the potential to accommodate tens of thousands of visitors and vehicles across open spaces, buildings, and parking lots.
The Fair & Event Center typically does not handle ticketing for hosted events, which are independently run and responsible for their own ticket sales and promotion. Lines are common ahead of official event opening times, and known to swell (with some parking challenges) in the middle hours of popular events. Expect to pay a modest parking fee for most ticketed events; the Farmers Market is an exception.
