2022 OC Fair Tickets Go On Sale Amid Capacity Limits
Advanced tickets will be required to attend the Orange County Fair as officials are capping the number of people attending each day.
COSTA MESA, CA — Fans of the OC Fair will have to buy their tickets in advance if they want to ride the Crazy Coaster or eat a deep-fried Oreo, as officials have imposed capacity limits for when the fair returns this summer.
The theme for the 2022 fair is "Feel the Sunshine," and the event will run from July 15 to Aug. 14. Although the fair is no longer under mandatory capacity limitations because of COVID-19 restrictions, fair officials said they still decided to limit the number of people admitted each day.
The fair will run Wednesdays through Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekdays and from 11 a.m. to midnight on weekends.
