The Colfax World Fair has Arrived!

Here's your list of today's attractions, game booths, entertainment schedule, My Gym schedule for Toddler Town, Silent Auction closing times, food vendors, and map of the Colfax World Fair.

If you live or work anywhere within a five mile radius of Colfax Charter Elementary School in Valley Village, you know about the Colfax World Fair. The new logo is displayed on street banners, on posters are in shop windows, all over social media, and especially here on Patch. The weather is perfect for the event which last year attracted as many as 8,000 guests and earned over $100,000.

There are dozens of games and attractions, two food courts, live entertainment throughout the day, raffles, a huge silent auction, and Toddler Town – an entire area just for babies and toddlers. The fair extends to adjacent Morella Avenue, home to the popular Morella Water Park which features several water slides and games where you’re sure to get very wet. Be sure to bring your swimsuits, towels, water shoes and a change of clothes.

Colfax Charter Elementary School is one of the most acclaimed public elementary schools in the San Fernando Valley, and proceeds from the fair will benefit their arts and music programs, technology, computer and science labs, physical education, extracurricular activities, field trips and assemblies, and teachers' aids that are underfunded or not supported by the LAUSD budget.

The Colfax World Fair takes place today, Saturday, May 18th from 12:00 noon until 7:00 pm at Colfax Charter Elementary School – 11724 Addison Street in Valley Village, 4 blocks north of Riverside and a half mile east of Laurel Canyon Boulevard. Admission and parking are free. Tickets for food, attractions and games sell for $1 each and can be purchased with cash or credit cards.
