Southern California Fair

I hadn't been since 2013 and I went recently Had a wonderful time took my granddaughter and daughter great food great memories

The fair opened yesterday and from 4 PM to 6 PM all rides were free which was awesome. The only problem we had was the very last ride we timed it perfectly to where our four year old son would be able to ride it for free then we would go get a wristband. The person working the ride let a lady and another child cut in front of us because she was making a scene about her daughter wanting to ride. So he let them on and we ended up being the only people in line so when that session was done and the lady left he said we had to start paying because it was 6 o'clock. No asshole! You let Karen in because she was pitching a fit! My four year old had to wait! We literally were the only people in line and he still would not budge and let my son ride the ride. so if we're all started crying because he didn't understand why we had to walk away from the ride. Thanks fairgrounds!

Owners are fucking trash they literally don't know how to hold an event. They're staff is absolutely clueless and stupid to literally anything, went there and the people working couldn't tell me shit. The events there are amazing. the owners pure stupidity though

Ummmm... It's the 106th annual fair celebration. I never knew Perris did this every year. Definitely not like the other fairs. It's very small, unorganized and waaaaaaaay over priced. Half the people operating rides and games are constantly on their phones, laying down, or talking... Very unprofessional. It's definitely good for young kids 5 and younger. Older kids they will get bored quick. The vendors where okay. The food I avoided.

This year the fair just sucked! We only stayed 15 minutes. There is no FFA event like the website says. And normally there is several tents and buildings with AC and displays of quilts and cooking competitions and exhibits to enjoy while the heat of the day is at it's worst. This year, you are just stuck outside baking in 100* heat. If you don't do rides, forget it! Don't waste your money.

This fair has consistently gone down hill for years. The rides are great if you have a friend, if your alone, you don't get to ride. 1 tent with a few exhibits. Fair food which is always great but you need to have a fair to enjoy fair food.. if something doesn't change, I don't see how it will survive. That's sad.

I went to the fair this past weekend. Like the other yelper said it's different than OC or the LA County Fairs. It's more of a hometown country fair with a good size carnival and a lot of food and entertainment. It's a relaxed atmosphere and isn't commercial like the other big fairs. If you have kids it's a great family event to take them and enjoy the day.

This fair has potential. After 100 years you'd think it would be way better. The food we tried from different vendors was gross. Bacon wrapped corn dog, almost still frozen in the middle. Giant pickle even was un edible. The pigs were bloody and covered with flies. The fun houses were a joke, like duct taped together. For the cost you'd think they would be better. The rides for kids were okay. No real safety precautions take though. Sheriffs walking around, so it was pretty safe. The exhibits were few and low quality other than the art and photography. The carney's were baaaaad, like couldn't care less. No concerts or races going on while we were there, which may great. Not planning on going back to this fair again unless it improves.

This is the worst fair I have ever visited. It is certainly not worth the long drive to the middle of nowhere to endure horrible heat without air conditioning and see next to nothing. In addition to this, it has now destroyed one of my entries in their Clothing and Textiles competition.Do not enter anything you value in the Southern California Fair. This year they separated my dress from its matching choker although the two pieces constituted a single entry and then destroyed the dress while displaying only the choker! They didn't even have the decency to (1) inform me of their inappropriate and foolish decision before the fair opened, (2) inform me when they discovered the damage to the dress (shown here with a red paper inside the dress to highlight the hole, which is surrounded by shredding of the delicate fabric apparently perpetrated by a rodent) when my friend picked it up from the fairgrounds Perris, or (3) apologize to me for their negligence in permitting such a thing to happen and (4) offer to pay damages. Furthermore, they didn't respond to my email message complaining of their wrongdoing! I shall never again enter my lace in this ridiculously small fair held in extreme heat in the middle of nowhere.

It's getting too expensive and too crazy with teenagers not respecting and always fighting need more police
