After raising the rent at the Equestrian Center, administrators at the Orange County Fair are trying to save money by raising parking costs.
On July 19, the OC Fair will begin after authorities approved the construction of a new $25 million administrative building on the fairgrounds.
Additionally, it happened after officials raised rent at the Equestrian Center, one of the few nearby public horse facilities.
Adult entry to the OC Fair was $12 during the week and $14 on weekends from 2017 to 2022. Senior and child admission was $7 on all days of the week.

Adult entry rose to $13 during the week and $15 on the weekends in 2023. In 2023, senior and child entry fees increased to $9.
Admission for 2024 is the same as it was in the previous year, but parking is now more expensive.
On-site parking cost $10 per vehicle from 2017 to 2022. Parking will now cost $12 per vehicle starting in 2023.
Parking costs have gone up to $15 per car this year.
Terry Moore, the OC fair’s director of communications, sent an email to Voice of OC saying, “Our admission increases have been few and far between over the last several years as our Board of Directors and staff believe that we should remain as affordable as possible to the community.”
“The Board has only decided to raise parking and admission fees when it was absolutely required to cover our rising costs,” the spokesperson stated.
Cutting Expenses Following Rent Increase
By the end of this year, the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa will no longer be working with the street sweeping firm that provides arena dragging, stall cleaning, and horse feeding for the whole OC Equestrian Center.
The contract is being canceled by officials because local horse enthusiasts have expressed dissatisfaction over the fairgrounds‘ inflated cost for the service.
At the board meeting on Thursday, Tanya Bilezikjian, a member of the Fair Board, announced that the company will be terminating its contract with Lopez Works, Inc. and making calls to locate a new provider in January.
At the Equestrian Center, cost control is crucial, according to Bilezikjian. “Hopefully costs decrease, but we’ll have to wait and see how the market responds.”
Over the past year, equestrians have sharply challenged the contract, which was first approved in 2022, claiming that fairgrounds staff is overpaying for these maintenance services.
Additionally, horse owners have been trying to maintain reasonable boarding costs for their animals.
A rent increase granted by the fair board will result in a 50% rise in horse boarding fees in 2025.
In the new year, renters who previously paid $644 per month for a 12-by-12-foot horse boarding stall would now have to spend $979.
Phased increases in rent are scheduled to begin on June 15. It is expected to reach its total by January 1st, 2025.
Amidst this, riders have been retaliating, handing over 1,270 letters to the fair board in April requesting that they reevaluate the pricing hikes and cancel the Lopez Works agreement.
When the new rental agreement went into effect on June 15, some boarders objected, citing other issues in addition to the higher prices.
30-day notifications requiring them to leave the property were given to them.
Riders who want to stay at the center must sign the new contract and pay the higher fees even though the Lopez Works contract will expire at the end of the year.
After running her company out of the Equestrian Center for eleven years, Gibran Stout, the creator of OC Vaulting, has been requesting meetings with the fairgrounds personnel to discuss issues with the contract and make necessary revisions before she will sign it.
She claimed the arrangement is based on a conventional rental agreement and isn’t customized for the unique requirements of horseback riders.
In a phone interview, Gibran remarked, “It’s like using a car rental contract for renting an apartment or a house or office space.” “This contract is inappropriate for this relationship.”
In addition, even if they have been utilizing the stalls, equipment room, and lockers for years, the agreement compels each boarder to pay a 50% deposit, which is equivalent to one month’s rent.
The deposits for Stout would come to around $2,000.
“They’re asking me to pay a deposit on facilities that they’ve let fall into disrepair,” Stout remarked. “What constitutes normal wear and tear is not defined. What would be done with the deposit is not specified.
