Join us for the San Diego County Fair as we present A Fair to Remember: a Celebration of World's Fairs and Balboa Park.

We'll commemorate the centennial anniversary of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition held in Balboa Park, and the great traditions and inventions arising from fairs. (Did you know the bicycle, telephone, ice cream cone, Ferris Wheel, and air conditioning were all introduced at a World's Fair?)
