About

Pacific Amphitheatre is an outdoor concert venue on the grounds of the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa, best known for its summer concert series tied to the OC Fair. Opened in 1983, it reopened in 2003 and underwent major renovations in 2013 that reshaped the berm, moved the entrance inside the fairgrounds, and set current capacity around 8,200; tickets to fair?time shows include same?day OC Fair admission. The venue offers a relaxed, fairground atmosphere with easy access to food courts and attractions during the fair season.

Getting there

Parking

On-site paid parking is available in OC Fair & Event Center lots, with primary access via Gate 1 off Fair Drive and additional access off Arlington Drive; designated rideshare drop-off/pick-up is at Gate 1. Arrive early on event and fair days due to heavy traffic.

Public transit

OCTA OC Bus routes 47, 55, and 178 serve the fairgrounds area year-round; during the OC Fair, the weekend OC Fair Express provides direct service from multiple park-and-ride locations (including Santa Ana Regional Transportation Center). Connections from Metrolink/Amtrak are available via these buses.
