The Minnesota State Fair is a state fair held annually in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Also known by its slogan "The Great Minnesota Get-Together", it is the largest state fair in the United States by average daily attendance and the second-largest by total attendance, trailing only the State Fair of Texas, which generally runs twice as long as the Minnesota State Fair. The state fairgrounds are in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, midway between the state capital of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and adjacent to the Saint Paul campus of the University of Minnesota. The fair runs for twelve days from late August into early September, ending on Labor Day. Residents of the state and region come to the fair to be entertained, exhibit their best livestock, show off their abilities in a variety of activities including art and cooking, learn about new products and services, and eat many different types of food. Around two million people attend the fair annually. The highest annual attendance record is 2,126,551 people in 2019, with the highest daily attendance being 270,426 visitors on the second Saturday of the 2018 fair. The Minnesota State Fair was named the best state fair in the United States in 2015, 2025 and 2026 by readers of USA Today.
