Hot Diggity Dog (and cat and fish and bird)! The 2025 San Diego County Fair will be a Summer Pet-tacular!
From June 11 through July 6—fur a limited time only—the Del Mar Fairgrounds will transform to a pet-lovers paradise to celebrate the special bonds between humans and their pets.
Whether you've got a furry friend, a scaly sidekick or a feathered flock, we all agree that pets rock! They bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love into our lives.
They’re our snuggle buddies, our adventure partners, and our loyal companions. In fact, studies show that owning a pet can boost your mood, improve your health, and even make you live longer!
Enter our featured theme exhibit and you’ll explore the world from a pet’s perspective—play with a giant ball of yarn or “swim” through an aquarium castle! “Pet Pairing” will help you determine what species and breeds have characteristics to best match your lifestyle. Discover strange-but-true fascinating facts and stories from the animal kingdom.
Looking to add a new member to your family? Come find your new best friend at our adoption events and give an animal a loving home.
But hold on to your leashes—we have a few rules to make sure everyone has a totally pawsome time. For those who want to “paws and play” with us, guests can pre-register to participate in one of several activities with their pet. Aside from these select opportunities, guests must leave pets at home so we can ensure that everyone has a safe and spectacular day at the Fair. (ADA service animals, however, are always welcome at the Fair).
