Exhibits this year:
As the 2012 OC Fair celebrates Home Sweet Home, it welcomes a new exhibit to remind us of this great country we call home. Steel beam sections from the World Trade Center will be on display on Family Fairway between Green Gate and Park Plaza. The display will serve as an opportunity for fairgoers to remember both our strength and vulnerability as a nation.

Yarn Bombing Day, Sunday July 15 10am-3pm

Yarn bombing, also called urban knitting or crochet, is another form of artistic expression. It can be thought of as graffiti with a softer touch. As with any other artistic medium Yarn Bombing themes range from the sublime to the ridiculous; understated to wildly embellished.
