The Santa Barbara Fair & Expo has returned to the Earl Warren Showgrounds for two back-to-back weekends.
Organizers say this year's 1980s flashback theme will transport fairgoers back in time with vibrant entertainment and nostalgic experiences.
The fair features stages with talent performances, including music, illusions, dancing, and magic.
The carnival midway boasts over 30 rides and attractions, including a section for younger children. There's also a livestock area with farm animals, youth exhibits showcasing artwork and other creations, and a variety of food, arts, and crafts vendors.
Tickets are $13.50 for adults and $8.00 for kids. Children under the age of 5 get in for free.
Limited on-site parking is available for $20 per day. A free trolley service is also offered in one of the off-site parking lots.
