OC Fair Express Returns with Five Departure Locations and Direct Fairground Access

The OC Fair Express is back, providing affordable and convenient non-stop service to the OC Fair on weekends from July 19 through August 17. This year, the service expands to five departure locations and drops passengers directly inside the OC Fair, offering easier access to the fairgrounds.  

This service offers a safe, cost-effective, and hassle-free alternative to driving and parking. Fares are set at $2 each way for adults, free for youth under 18, and 75 cents for seniors. In addition, OC Bus regular passes and community college passes will be accepted. 

Buses will arrive every 30 minutes from five locations, including Anaheim (ARTIC), Huntington Beach, Laguna Hills, Fullerton and Santa Ana.

The popular service launches on July 19 with a festive kick-off event at 9:30 a.m. at ARTIC featuring games, snacks, guest appearances by OC Fair mascots, and the chance to win a $50 gift card. Reservations are suggested. After the event, guests can hop aboard the 10:35 a.m. OC Fair Express for a stress-free ride to the fair.
