Experience one of San Diego’s most beloved summer traditions at the San Diego County Fair. Returning from June 10 through July 5, 2026 (closed Mondays and Tuesdays), this iconic event brings together food, entertainment, and family-friendly fun at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

From classic fair favorites and creative culinary treats to live concerts, carnival rides, exhibits, and interactive attractions, the San Diego County Fair offers something for everyone. It’s a vibrant celebration of community, culture, and summer in Southern California.

Located just a scenic drive from Humphreys Half Moon Inn, the fair pairs perfectly with a stay on Shelter Island. Spend the day enjoying the excitement, then return to waterfront views, live music, and relaxed coastal surroundings.
