For young and not so young adults a like, there is plenty to enjoy at the SB Fair and Expo. If you enjoy the carnival style rides, food that makes your tummy growl, and barrels of fun, the SB Fair and Expo is a must. Enjoy the classic fair rides such as the Giant Wheel showcasing a view of Santa Barbara from almost 100 feet in the air. Twist your stomach with the Viper or take a relaxing ride on the Grand Carousel. Perhaps a little more excitement as you might fly through the sky on the Fireball from Holland which swings back and forth through the air creating a feeling of weightlessness.

Not into Carnival Rides? Don’t worry we have plenty of fun and exciting options.
Take yourself to one of the many events happening day and night throughout the week; For those who fancy a drink check out the beer garden and enjoy the company of friends or grab a seat in front of the stage and watch a variety of splendid entertainment.
