Fairplex

L.A. County Fair at dusk, 2008

The Fairplex in Pomona, California, has been the home of the Los Angeles County Fair since 1922. Known until 1984 as the Los Angeles County Fairgrounds, the 543-acre (2.2 km2) facility hosts the Fair in May and year-round for trade and consumer shows, conventions, sporting events, and more.

The Fairplex is owned by Los Angeles County, but is leased to and is governed by an independent, self-supporting non-profit organization, the Los Angeles County Fair Association, which manages and produces the county fair and spends surplus revenue to maintain and develop the facility.
