- The 65th Annual Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival 2011
-
Feb 17, 2012 - Feb 26, 2012,
Indio, California United StatesThe few days of rain could not detour fairgoers from attending the 65th Annual Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival. This year, the Date Festival was just shy of breaking the all-time attendance record set in 2010 - 307,700 people came through the gates during the ten day event in 2011. The attendance figures are attributed to the growing success of the Fair as it continues to be pocket friendly. For less than the price of a movie ticket, families were able to enjoy shows, arena events and amazing Headliner Entertainment that included Third Eye Blind, Kellie Pickler, Luz Rios and Swithchfoot!
The Fair continues to add new and exciting exhibits to the Fair. This year fairgoers were able to see an Arabian themed sand sculpture being built during the Fair. While the Wizard Challenge produced quite the buzz with kids going through the various obstacles in the Gem and Mineral Building.
Giving back to the community is a tradition with the Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival. This was the third consecutive year that admission was FREE on Opening Day. The promotion was a success despite the inclement weather, 43,194 people came through the gates setting a new record for attendance on opening day. A special “thank you” to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino, the Fair’s Presenting Sponsor, for continuing to offer “Fantasy $5 Friday” during the run of the Fair. - full details
