In San Diego, summer starts at the San Diego County Fair!

Going strong since 1880, the Fair is the largest and longest running event in the county. The Del Mar Fairgrounds has hosted the annual Fair since 1936.

This year's theme is Let's Go Retro. With a nod to nostalgia and a focus on fun, the 2024 Fair will give our yesteryears another moment in the San Diego sun. Bop your way around the happy days of the ‘50s. Twist, shout, and shake it into the bewitching ‘60s. Move and groove through the disco nights of the ‘70s. Moonwalk it back to the gnarly age of big hair, shoulder pads, and parachute pants of the ‘80s. And enjoy the era of flannel and floppy drives of the ‘90s. When we look back on today, what will stand the test of time to be considered “retro” to future San Diegans?

Look for the San Diego County Sheriff's Department recruiters at the fair! We'll be there Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to speak with people interested in joining the department. Ask about our hiring process and our many job opportunities.
