Costa Mesa summer is here — and the OC Fair is almost back.
Every summer, the OC Fair brings concerts, food, entertainment, and that unmistakable Orange County summer energy right into the heart of Costa Mesa. The 2026 OC Fair runs July 17 through August 16 at the OC Fair & Event Center, and the fair includes entertainment across venues such as the Pacific Amphitheatre, The Hangar, and Action Sports Arena. Concert and reserved-seat tickets often include same-day OC Fair admission, making it easy to enjoy the fair and a show in one visit.
Costa Mesa Is Not Just Close to Summer Fun — Costa Mesa Hosts It
One of the things I love about Costa Mesa is that you do not have to go far to find something fun to do. From the OC Fair and Pacific Amphitheatre to local restaurants, shopping, parks, trails, and nearby beaches, Costa Mesa offers a lifestyle that feels active, convenient, and connected.
For buyers, this matters.
When you are looking at homes, it is not just about bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. It is also about what your weekends look like. Where do you meet friends? Where do you go for dinner? Where can you enjoy a summer night without driving across all of Orange County?
Costa Mesa has so much of that built in.
2026 OC Fair Concerts & Summer Entertainment
The OC Fair season is packed with summer entertainment, including concerts, tribute shows, family events, fair food, and live performances throughout the fairgrounds. The Pacific Amphitheatre hosts major concerts during fair season, and The Hangar and Action Sports Arena add even more entertainment options for fairgoers.
Some of the 2026 concert highlights include artists and shows such as Midland, Chris Young, Cole Swindell, Lauren Daigle, Sugar Ray, Cypress Hill, Trevor Noah, John Fogerty, Rebelution, The Head and The Heart, Diana Ross, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Boy George & Culture Club, and more.
Whether you are planning a date night, a family outing, or a concert with friends, the OC Fair is one of those annual events that reminds us why Costa Mesa is such a fun place to live.
