What offers clowns, rides, farm animals and classic rock, not to mention a lot of fried food on a stick? Answer: The Orange County Fair, which opened Friday in Costa Mesa.

Among this year’s attractions are a rodeo, monster trucks and a mixed martial arts show called SummerFist 9. Musical acts include Boston, Ozomatli and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, plus tributes to ABBA, Journey and the Eagles. For a complete list, visit ocfair.com.

The weather should be perfect for opening weekend, with highs in the mid-70s and partly cloudy skies.
