Del Mar Fairgrounds Concerts 2025

Good Guys Car Show is All Good All Day. Had a blast. Tons of cars from all cultures represented and really put their shine on. This world has been kind of crazy the past few years but to Car People, none of that matters. Keep the faith, keep the culture.

This is a cool venue with friendly staff. There were shuttles that took you from the parking lot to the fair location. A very Asian spread of restaurants which was fine by me.

The venue itself is fine, and the city of Del Mar is beautiful. Came for parts and oddities expo. However, the traffic to get here is horrendous off this exit!!!! Honestly I'll never come back just because the gridlock here is ridiculous even for a much smaller expos. I've been to quite a few venues but didn't understand how they can't get it together to get traffic to flow better for this expo. The fair times are even more worse and it's at least an hour to get there....last year was no parking left!!! If you have to come, I recommend get a hotel near by and walk. Save yourself the agony of anxiety and you'll get your necessary steps in, Eff traffic!

We had a blast at the fair! They had some cool hidden areas we didn't know about last year like Paul Bunyan's wood cutting show or the hidden sunflower lounge. I highly recommend going. Friday was kids get in free. I don't know if it's every Friday though. I definitely recommend getting the bucket of cookies. It's $26 but there's a ton and they're super soft.

Went for the Beyond Van Gogh and Monet experiences at the Wyland building. Enjoyed Van Gogh more than Monet but they were both enjoyable; not awe-inspiring but a rather unique experience with the art projected onto all 4 walls, the floor, and a couple of columns accompanied by mood music. Plan ahead and pay for parking online to save $5 off the $20 fee.
