What to bring (and not bring): The safety and well-being of our Fairgoers is our highest priority. This year, State Fair officials are introducing a bag policy. We realize this policy will change the way you prepare to come to the Fair and appreciate your flexibility and patience.

While visiting the State Fair, all bags must to be 9”x10”x12” or smaller. Exceptions are made for diaper bags or medical reasons. Check out our policy page here for details.

We want you to stay hydrated - Fairgoers are allowed to bring in sealed bottled water and empty cups, like the State Fair Souvenir Cup, or reusable water bottles. 

All Fairgoers will go through metal detection when entering the Fair. Leave unnecessary items at home. Any prohibited items will be confiscated by Public Safety and will not be returned.
