San Diego County Fair 2025 will be Pet-tacular! New Season Pass! And, Toyota Grandstand Shows!
June 11 – July 6
Hot Diggity Dog (and cat and fish and bird)! The Fairgrounds will transform into a pet-lovers paradise at the 2025 San Diego County Fair. The county’s largest annual event will celebrate the bond between people and their pets during a 20-day “Summer Pet-tacular!”
“Our community’s Fair — a treasured family summer tradition and the best deal in town for your entertainment dollar — will celebrate the special bonds between humans and their pets,” said Carlene Moore, CEO of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which produces the annual Fair. “This fun theme creates a natural opportunity to partner with San Diego Humane Society, an organization that has focused on improving animal welfare in our community since 1880 — the same year as the first-ever San Diego County Fair.”
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 — the Fair has a few rules to make sure everyone has a totally paw-some 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 — including the Pet-tacular Pooch Fun Run on July 5. Aside from these select opportunities, guests must leave pets at home to ensure everyone has a spectacular day at the Fair. (ADA service animals, however, are always welcome at the Fair).
