ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Every May, the Outlets of Lake Elsinore transforms into the venue for Southern California’s premier celebration to kick off the summer! Known for its unique offerings, the Family Fun Fest / Riverside County Fair, stands out as a major event in the Temecula Valley region.
Participants become part of a new community legacy. Special thanks to Temecula Valley Community Events and Riverside County Fair LLC for their generous contributions, distributed as scholarships to deserving students, each receiving $500 to further their education post-high school in the trades industry. Multiple winners and larger scholarships may be available due to the financial success of the Family Fun Fest / Riverside County Fair.
