California Mid-Winter Fair kicks off Friday
2024 California Mid-Winter Fair and Fiesta's theme is "Red, White, and Moo"
IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - It is the first day of the 2024 California Mid-Winter Fair and the gates have officially opened meaning the fun has officially started.
Kids from all over the Valley had the day off from school to not miss the California Mid-Winter Fair’s grand opening here at the Imperial Valley Fairgrounds.
We spoke with the carnival representatives and they told me the difference between last year's fair and this year's fair is two new riders and one comes all the way from the Netherlands.
“Yeah, Blackout sits 12 people. The seats themselves spin, then all the seats spin horizontally, as well as the whole arm doing a 360 around the whole ride. It's very fun," said Chris Gonzalez, Marketing and Entertainment.
The fair will be going on from Friday, March 1 through Sunday, March 10 at the Imperial Valley Fairgrounds located at 200 E. Second Street in Imperial.
