Last night Marshmello performed to a packed house at the Ventura County Fair! I went VIP and wow... what an experience! The GO VIP upgrade offers a dedicated entrance, best views of the show, exclusive bars and food options, and much more. GO VIP! It's a party!

The Grandstand Concert Series at the Ventura County Fair is free with paid admission. BUT... You can go VIP. I highly recommend it
