Fairplex: Building Stronger Communities through Entertaining, Educational and Fun Experiences
Fairplex is a leading event venue and entertainment destination located in Pomona, California. The company's mission is to build stronger communities by providing entertaining, educational and fun experiences that support and complement its signature event, the LA County Fair.
With over 500 acres of versatile indoor and outdoor spaces, Fairplex offers a wide range of facilities for events of all sizes. From trade shows to concerts, from weddings to corporate meetings, Fairplex has everything you need to make your event a success.
But Fairplex is more than just an event venue. It's a community hub that brings people together from all walks of life. Whether you're looking for family-friendly activities or cultural experiences, there's always something happening at Fairplex.
One of the highlights of the year at Fairplex is the LA County Fair. This annual event attracts over 1 million visitors each year with its mix of food, music, rides and exhibits. From deep-fried Oreos to live performances by top artists like Boyz II Men and Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - there's something for everyone at the fair.
But the LA County Fair isn't just about having fun - it also serves an important role in supporting local businesses and organizations. Each year, hundreds of vendors showcase their products at the fairgrounds - from handmade crafts to innovative gadgets - giving them exposure to a massive audience they might not otherwise reach.
In addition to hosting events like the LA County Fair, Fairplex also offers educational programs that help young people develop new skills and explore their interests. For example:
- The Career & Technical Education Center (CTEC) provides hands-on training in fields like automotive technology, welding and culinary arts.
- The Junior Livestock Auction gives young farmers an opportunity to sell their animals while learning about business principles.
- The STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) program encourages students' interest in these subjects through interactive exhibits.
These programs are designed not only to educate but also inspire young people towards careers they might not have considered otherwise.
Another way that Fairplex supports its community is through partnerships with local organizations such as:
- Pomona Unified School District
- Cal Poly Pomona
- Inland Empire United Way
By working together with these groups on initiatives such as job fairs or fundraising events for charity causes like homelessness or education access issues; we can create positive change within our communities while having fun doing it!
In conclusion,
Fairplex has been building stronger communities since 1922 when it was first established as an agricultural fairgrounds site! Today we continue this tradition by offering world-class entertainment options alongside educational opportunities aimed at inspiring future generations towards success! With our commitment towards sustainability practices combined with our state-of-the-art facilities; we are confident that anyone who visits us will leave feeling inspired!
