Health & Safety

Hand washing stations are in all public restrooms, with additional hand washing stations adjacent to animal interaction areas like the Petting Farm and Livestock barns. Wash your hands often to stay healthy!

Use hand sanitizer when you can’t use soap and water. Hand sanitizer can be found at Information Booths and Guest Services, at many food concessions stands, and in several other areas like exhibit halls.

The First Aid office is located at the east end of the Grandstand, near Guest Services. The San Diego County Fair has a staff of EMTs and other health-care professionals who can treat minor injuries and assess when a Fair guest should be transported to a hospital.

Additionally, the San Diego County Fair has added a First Aid station located on the Main Avenue near the Exhibit Hall - just before entering the Fun Zone.

First Aid can come to you if you are hurt on the Fairgrounds. Please contact the nearest uniformed Fair employee, so he or she can summon our First Aid team.

More than 30 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are located throughout the Fairgrounds and can be used by anyone by simply following the voice instructions that occur when the AED is opened.

The San Diego County Fair has a full Safety Services staff who are trained to handle any emergency. Should you be at the Fair during an earthquake or other emergency, please follow the instructions of uniformed Fair personnel.
