Fairplex At Pomona upcoming events — Pomona, California

Discover the Historic Fairplex At Pomona Venue

The Fairplex At Pomona is more than a fairgrounds — it's a historic campus that brings Southern California together for the LA County Fair, NHRA drag racing, expos, and year-round festivals. Located in Pomona about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, Fairplex At Pomona upcoming events span indoor and outdoor spaces across a sprawling campus designed for every kind of live experience.

Opened in 1922 and renamed Fairplex in 1984, this multi-purpose destination stretches over 487–500 acres with a mix of Art Deco architecture and expansive fairground design. It’s a campus of many venues — from large exhibition halls and outdoor plazas to an on-site hotel and a renowned motorsports museum — making it a flexible home for events of all sizes.

Programming here is as varied as it gets: the LA County Fair has called the campus home since 1922, while major NHRA drag racing events — including the NHRA Winternationals and NHRA Finals — transform the grounds into a high-octane showcase. Throughout the year, you’ll also find expos, trade shows, concerts, conventions, and community celebrations.

What sets this place apart is the breadth of facilities on one site, including the Sheraton Fairplex Hotel & Conference Center and the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum. The campus layout supports everything from reserved-seating concerts to grandstand motorsports and large-scale festivals with VIP areas and hospitality zones.

From a big-day fair outing to bucket-list drag racing, the Fairplex At Pomona Venue delivers an easy-to-love blend of heritage, energy, and choice — with an event calendar that keeps you coming back for more.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Fairplex

1101 W. McKinley Ave.

Pomona, California 91768

Fairplex sits about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, making it a convenient destination for fans across the Greater LA region and the Inland Empire.

• Parking: Extensive on-site parking with multiple lots; fees vary by event (typically $15–$20). Shuttle service operates during major events.
• Public Transit: Metrolink service to Pomona stations with potential event shuttles during large events; local bus routes serve the area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available during major events near primary entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Arrive 60–90 minutes early for large events. This buffer helps you navigate on-site parking, pass through security smoothly, and walk between lots and your event location. The campus is expansive, so a little extra time goes a long way toward a stress-free start.

If you’re attending an outdoor event — especially during summer months when temperatures can reach 90°F or higher — bring sun protection and stay hydrated. Shaded areas and hospitality tents are available during fairs and festivals, but sunscreen, hats, and refillable water (if permitted) are smart additions. Cell service is generally good, though it can be spotty during peak crowd times.

For drivers, follow posted signage and staff directions to the correct lot for your event. If you’re using Metrolink or local buses, give yourself time to connect with on-site shuttles during major events. Rideshare users should confirm the designated pick-up/dropoff zones and set a clear meet-up point with your group to avoid backtracking across the grounds.

Venue Navigation

Fairplex is a multi-venue campus featuring indoor halls, outdoor stages and fairgrounds, a motorsports drag strip, and special facilities like the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum. Wayfinding signage and information booths help you orient quickly — especially useful during LA County Fair days and large festivals.

You’ll find concessions, food courts, and pop-up restaurants throughout the campus during major events, along with restrooms, ATMs, first aid stations, and merchandise stands. If your day includes multiple attractions, wear comfortable shoes — walking between parking areas, exhibit halls, and outdoor spaces is part of the experience.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Subject to event-specific rules; a clear bag policy may be enforced for large events. Check your event details before arrival.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside alcohol, large coolers, drones, and other items as specified per event.
• Re-entry Policy: Typically allowed with a hand stamp or ticket stub, but this may vary by event.
• Service Animals: Permitted in accordance with ADA regulations.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Expect significant walking — wear comfortable footwear and plan a group meeting spot.
• For outdoor events and fairs, pack sunscreen and a hat; stay hydrated in warm weather.

Pre-Event Planning

Map your day based on your event type. For NHRA drag racing, consider grandstand seats near the start line and arrive early to explore the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum on campus. If you’re here for the LA County Fair or a large festival, plan breaks for food courts and shaded hospitality areas.

Looking for a memorable moment? Time your visit to catch sunset views from elevated areas in Pomona — including the hilltop vantage near Pomona Valley Mining Company — then return to enjoy the illuminated rides and displays during LA County Fair evenings. If you’re attending a concert, secure your Fairplex At Pomona tickets early and use our interactive map to pick your preferred view.

Coordinate with your group in advance. The campus covers hundreds of acres, so decide on a meeting point in case anyone gets separated. If you’re using public transit or rideshare for a major event, take note of the designated zones and confirm your pick-up spot before the show ends.

Accessibility

Fairplex At Pomona is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking near primary entrances, accessible seating for most events (locations vary by setup), ramps and accessible pathways throughout the campus, and mobility shuttles during major events to help guests move efficiently across the grounds.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

During the LA County Fair and other major festivals, food offerings expand across the campus, so it’s easy to find a quick bite or settle into a shaded area for a relaxed meal. ATMs are available on-site, and many vendors accept cashless payments for convenience.
