The Ventura Fairgrounds is a block from the beach and just a few blocks from Ventura’s historic walkable downtown that’s home to some of our favorite restaurants, bars and shops. Although the venue has ample parking, we also offer free bike valet and the Fairgrounds has a train stop for Amtrak’s Pacific Surfliner! If you’re not a Ventura local, take the train for excellent views, shop Patchwork Show, explore downtown and watch the sunset on the beach for an unforgettable day trip.
