The OC Fair Food Drive-Thru is scheduled to operate until Sept. 27 with the current vendors. Organizers have not yet announced October dates or vendors.
Organizers are asking guests to wear face masks, and purchase all food with a credit card for contactless payments. All guests will enter and exit the fair ground through Gate 1, from Fair Dr. From there, lane indicators will direct traffic once inside the fairgrounds.

While the Orange County Fair is operating within the limitations of COVID-19, there will still be plenty for fair food fanatics to enjoy, from giant western sausages, to endless types of fried cheeses and confections.
