There will be no San Diego County Fair this year

preview

Copyright © 2022, The San Diego Union-Tribune | | AdvertisementAdvertisement The Del Mar fair board voted unanimously today to postpone this summer’s San Diego County Fair until 2021 because of the state’s prohibitions on mass gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19.Board President Richard Valdez said that he had planned to delay any decision for another week or more, but Gov. Gavin Newsom’s news conference earlier today made it clear there will be no large gatherings this summer.“Our vendors are relying on our decision for determining whether they can go forward,” Valdez said. “There is a tremendous amount of preparation and expense involved.”The event, which was scheduled for June 5 through July 5, will move to about the same dates next year with the same theme, “Heroes, Unite!” that was planned for this year, fairgrounds General Manager Tim Fennell said.The fair has attracted more than 1.5 million visitors over its month-long run in recent years.Advertisement“We are in uncharted waters... and the No. 1 priority is safety,” Fennell said.Board member Don Mosier, a retired physician, said the governor’s decision is scientifically based and specifies that no large gatherings should be allowed until a vaccine is developed, which could take a year, or until there is herd immunity.Herd immunity requires at least 50 percent to 60 percent of the population to have had the vaccine or have survived the virus, which would require widespread testing to determine.“The cautious step is no large gatherings,” Mosier said.Check back for more information.
