At the center of the Fun Fair, guests can enjoy a lineup of on-stage entertainment, including a performance from the Hawkins High School Cheerleaders, ‘80s cover bands, food-eating contests, magicians and more. Inside Pacific Park, the Pacific Park Ferris Wheel will turn into the Hawkins Wheel, and other iconic pier rides will be transformed with in-show elements.
