34 Summer Festivals and Fairs in 2024 in Los Angeles for Families
Fairs and summer festivals in Los Angeles are an essential SoCal tradition. A good festival has something fun for everyone in the family—teens can try new foods or shop at retail booths, kids can enjoy crafts, inflatables, and carnival rides, toddlers can dance to live music, and babies can sit snugly in a stroller, taking in the sights—and all this at an event that parents are genuinely excited about.
Whether you are a pirate enthusiast, a Lego master builder, an art aficionado, or maybe you need an excuse to get outside this summer, there's a summer festival for everyone.
