Midway lights, rides, and treats in Havasu
Four days of carnival rides, games, live entertainment, and classic fair food make this a family-friendly reason to visit Lake Havasu in February.
Event details
The midway lights up after dark and the air fills with kettle corn and barbecue smoke when the Lake Havasu City Fair transforms the fairgrounds into a classic carnival experience. You’ll find traditional rides, games of skill, livestock exhibits, and strolling entertainment that appeal to families and couples looking for nostalgic fun. The fair typically runs for four days in late January or early February, with evening hours extending past sunset for the full light show effect.
Arrive in the late afternoon to catch both daylight exhibits and the evening glow, when the Ferris wheel becomes a beacon against the desert sky. Parking fills quickly on weekend nights, so plan to arrive early or use rideshare options from nearby hotels. Winter evenings can cool to the 50s, so bring a light jacket for comfort between indoor exhibits and outdoor rides.
Make it a long weekend by pairing fair visits with sunny afternoons at London Bridge waterfront, where you can walk the channel path and rent kayaks or paddleboards. Lake.com offers rentals throughout the Bridgewater Channel area that put you within a short drive of both the fairgrounds and the best beach access points.
