We love our furry (and scaly and feathery) friends in San Diego, so much so that they've become the spotlight of the 2025 San Diego County Fair.

This year's annual event at the Del Mar Fairgrounds is a " Summer Pet-tacular ," bringing pet-centric events and experiences in partnership with the San Diego Humane Society. The fair will feature wild rides, hot musical acts and crazy culinary concoctions from June 11 through July 6.

The San Diego County Fair, previously known as the Del Mar Fair, has been a staple to the San Diego community since 1880 and secured its current home at the fairgrounds in 1936. The fair has only been suspended twice, during World War II and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
