Concerts & Entertainment  

Featured Entertainment at a Glance

The San Diego County Fair is over for 2009. We had tons of fun, and we hope you did, too! We have left the information about the 2009 Fair on the Web site so that you'll have an idea of what it's all about. Much of this information will disappear at the end of 2009 when we will have the re-designed Web site featuring the 2010 Fair theme. Please check back in April, 2010, for updated information on concerts at the 2010 San Diego County Fair.


In the chart below, all entertainment is free with Fair admission, with exceptions noted below. For free shows, seating is unreserved; however, you can buy a reserved seat for any of the Summer Concert Series shows on the Heineken Grandstand Stage.
