The Imperial Valley Mid-Winter Fair and Fiesta is at the Expo Center on Imperial Road in Imperial, California just outside of El Centro. It runs March 2-11.
We saw the carnival rides a few days ago and couldn't wait to come. The park is large with enough huge grandstands that look like they could fit the whole town. The parking lot is big and still had open space when we left around 3.
The fair is broken down into sections like Soft City where there are bouncy castles or Doc's Farm where they had the show animals for the 4-H and FFA programs or the Carnival rides. My favorite section was the mineral and gems where I couldn't resist getting a few thin slices of rock.
We walked in each section and had some good carnival food. Now, we are crawling back to go home. It was a great day with lots of enjoyable exhibits and fun rides to watch.
I highly recommend the Imperial Valley Mid-Winter Fair and Fiesta. It has a lot of things to do for a small town. You get a feel like you've gone back in time. read more
