LA County Fair: It’s Fair Time! Fair, Food, & Fun! + Ticket Giveaway
By: Erin
Disclosure: I was invited out to the Media Food Preview Night at the LA County Fair and I was provided with a 4 pack of tickets with a parking pass to the LA County Fair. All opinions are my own and I’ve been going to this fair for as long as I can remember. đ
It’s that time of year again folks, and you know what that means! It’s time for the LA County Fair. All the rides, games, shows, concerts,  new animal exhibits and of course one of the main attractions, the FOOD!! Every year, the food is a huge draw at the fair, and as usual will not disappoint . You will see the oh so familiar fried food fare from longtime fair favorites such as Chicken Charlie’s, but the fair does have some Gluten-Free options, one of my personal favorites; Terriâs Berries and then there is the Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Marketplace. The Fair started last Friday, August 30th and will run through September 29th. This past Wednesday I was invited out to a food preview for a sneak peek of what’s in store for this year’s UN-LEASH Your Inner Fair at the LA County Fair!
This year the fair has been turned into “Calitopia,” where you can keep cool with underwater and animal adventures like those found in San Diego, animation workshops and Enterprise exhibits from Hollywood as well as wine tasting experiences straight from Napa Valley.
NOW! Onto the Food and Giveaway that you are probably here for. đ You can find these food vendors while out and about at the fair this year as well as many others.
The FOOD!!
How about we start out with some deep fried fair food fun? Be the first to try out the new Krispy Kreme Hamburger ($9.95), the Krispy Kreme Sloppy Joes ($7.75), Totally Fried Bacon Wrapped Pickles ($6.75), Waffle Dogs, and if you want something on the lighter side, they do have chicken kabobs. Don’t forget dessert! They also have the Totally Fried Twinkie that you can get with either chocolate or strawberry sauce drizzled on top.
Chicken Charlie himself was there, so I just had to stop and get a picture taken with this famous fair icon. đ
My favorites would have to be the Krispy Kreme Sloppy Joe and the Bacon wrapped pickles! Yum!

It may be hot outside, but it’s even hotter over at La Sandia! With their Chile Rellenos that is! đ Whether you like them hot, battered, deep fried, and stuffed with melted Mexican Cheeses, Chef Richard Sandoval’s La Sandia over at Santa Monica Place has got you covered! These glorious chile peppers combine bold, authentic Mexican flavors with signature modern spins and twists that you would expect from Chef Sandoval.
