Kickoff to Summer at the Minnesota State Fair

Kick off summer at the Minnesota State Fair with a full day of classic fair fun in Saint Paul. You can wander past favorite fair food vendors, catch live music, join in lawn games, browse shopping spots, and enjoy rides on the Giant Slide. The fairgrounds offer a lively, family-friendly setting that makes it easy for you to relax, explore, and soak up the energy of a Minnesota tradition together. It is a fun way for your family to sample the fair atmosphere before the bigger celebration later in the season.
