Costa Mesa isn’t just close to things to do — it hosts them.
With summer right around the corner, the OC Fair & Event Center is gearing up for one of the biggest entertainment seasons in Southern California. The 2025 OC Fair will bring 71 shows across three venues — Pacific Amphitheatre, The Hangar, and Action Sports Arena — plus food, rides, exhibits, agriculture, and family fun from July 18 through August 17.
But the Fairgrounds are more than a once‑a‑year attraction. They’re a year‑round community anchor that gives Costa Mesa something most nearby cities don’t have: a built‑in gathering place with history, personality, and constant activity.
This year’s summer lineup includes everything from George Thorogood & The Destroyers to Melissa Etheridge & Indigo Girls, Ludacris, Pancho Barraza, Swift Nation, ZZ Top, and Young the Giant. Tribute bands, cultural events, monster trucks, Brew Hee Haw, and family shows round out the season.
For homeowners, this is part of what makes Costa Mesa special. You’re not just near entertainment — you’re living in the middle of it.
Whether you’re biking over for a concert, taking the kids to Centennial Farm, enjoying a food festival, or catching a post‑Fair show, the OC Fairgrounds add real lifestyle value to the city. Costa Mesa has energy, creativity, and community built right in.
Summer is on the way — and Costa Mesa is ready.
