All About Entering the Photography Exhibition at the San Diego County Fair

Once Upon a Fair at the 2026 San Diego County Fair

The San Diego County Fair is the greatest story our community has ever told. It’s a tale of food, fun, friends, family, laughter, tradition, music, amazement, and pure, unbridled joy. The Fair — the largest and longest-running community event in San Diego County — makes its triumphant return from Wednesday, June 10, through Sunday, July 5, 2026 (closed Mondays and Tuesdays.) You won’t want to miss your chance to live out your “happily ever after” at the 2026 SAN DIEGO COUNTY FAIR.

This presentation, organized by Lois Fong-Sakai and Amethel Parel-Sewell (exhibition coordinators), will provide you with all the essential information required to participate in the San Diego County Fair. It includes valuable tips on various categories, announcements of new categories, and other insider information.
