"We wanted to honor the Roaring '20s but take it a step further using the idea of soaring to elevate the arts and creativity throughout the county. We hope the theme provides inspiration for fairgoers to create, cook, design, and more, and launch the fair into the next decade."
Returning fair classics include traditional carnival rides, free concerts and fireworks every night over the Civic Center's Lagoon Park. The fair's headlining music acts will be announced in the spring.
