About Us:
The 22nd District Agricultural Association (DAA) manages and operates the Del Mar Fairgrounds; its nearby equestrian facility, the Horsepark; and the Del Mar Golf Center, on behalf of the State of California. No tax monies are used in the operation of these facilities.
The 22nd DAA is the promoter for five annual events: the Del Mar National Horse Show in April, the San Diego County Fair in June/July, Enviro Fair in June, The Scream Zone in October, and the Holiday of Lights in December. The Fairgrounds and Horsepark are the sites of approximately 350 events each year. They include weddings, receptions, bar and bat mitzvahs, dog shows, gun shows, home shows and other social and consumer events. In addition, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club operates the annual live horse racing meet in July through September on behalf of the 22nd DAA.
