The San Diego County Fair declared it had sold out on Wednesday, as unusually large crowds packed the fairgrounds for the Juneteenth holiday.

Officials with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which owns and operates the Del Mar Fairgrounds and produces the fair, decided to declare that the event was sold out in order to mitigate heavy traffic congestion.

“We want to thank everyone who came out to celebrate Juneteenth with us, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and kindness as we have worked through traffic challenges today,” said District chief executive Carlene Moore in a statement.

“We look forward to seeing our community continue to come out to enjoy the Fair and everything we have to offer.”

The fair said it would honor unredeemed tickets on another day.

The San Diego County Fair is open through July 7, except Mondays and Tuesdays. Tickets can be bought online in advance at SDFair.com.
