In 1890, the first OC Fair was held in Santa Ana and consisted of some smaller exhibits and a horse race. The fair has been held in many cities over the years, including Anaheim in 1911, which led to it being renamed the “Anaheim Carnival.” It was later held in Huntington Beach in 1916 and 1917. From 1932 to 1939, it was held in Pomona as part of a combined Orange, Los Angeles and Riverside County fair. Finally, in 1953 it found its permanent home in Costa Mesa where it has occurred since.
Last year, the OC Fair was ranked the ninth top fair in the nation by Carnival Warehouse and was ranked the top fair in California. For those who have attended, it is no surprise…
