County Fairs from San Diego to the San Francisco Bay area have been canceled, and large music festivals have been postponed over the coronavirus.
While keeping their fingers crossed that some events will proceed as planned, organizers have seen day-to-day operations upended by the pandemic.The Fairplex in Pomona — home of the Los Angeles County Fair — has had to postpone roughly 30 events from March, April and May and furlough about 80% of its workforce, according to President and Chief Executive Miguel Santana.
While the plan is for the L.A. County Fair to continue — it’s currently scheduled Sept. 4-27 — Santana said many logistical aspects still need to be ironed out.
