ABOUT THE DEL MAR FAIRGROUNDS The Del Mar Fairgrounds was founded in 1936 — more than two decades prior to the incorporation of the City of Del Mar — to host the annual San Diego County Fair. Today, the facilities include 200,000 square feet of trade show and meeting space, a 15,000-seat grandstand, a 3,500-9,000 seat multi-use outdoor arena, a one-mile dirt surface horse racing track, and a 23,000 square foot entertainment center known as The Sound at Surfside. Events hosted at the Fairgrounds fall into two categories: • Events and activities produced and managed by District, including the San Diego County Fair and Surf and Turf RV Park. • Events and activities produced by third-party promoters and operators through rentals of the facilities. Past and ongoing events and activities include concerts, festivals, trade shows, consumer expos, immersive experiences, equestrian competitions, animal shows, sporting events, fundraisers, and personal celebrations. Several renters operate year-round on District properties, including at the Del Mar Horsepark and at the 48-acre Surf & Turf Recreation Facilities, which features tennis, swimming, volleyball, a driving range, two miniature golf courses, and a golf pro shop. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club is the largest renter of District facilities, with an on-site Operating Agreement for office space and producing two seasons — during the summer and fall — of live thoroughbred horse racing. Legends also has a dedicated staff on site that exclusively manages event catering, restaurant, bar food, and beverage services at the Fairgrounds, including at The Sound, which is operated by Belly Up Entertainment. ABOUT THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY FAIR With roots dating back to 1880, the annual San Diego County Fair is a community celebration of agriculture, education, entertainment, and arts and also features rides, games, food, and shopping. The Fair marks the unofficial start of summer in San Diego County and has become a treasured tradition for generations of San Diegans. Each year, the Fair has a new theme. Usually, the San Diego County Fair opens in early-to-mid June and ends with a rousing finale on or after Independence Day weekend. Over a four-week run, the Fair draws about 1 million attendees, making it the largest annual celebration in San Diego County.
