Minnesotans get a little defensive of our state fair but the numbers are in, and it's true: There IS one state fair that is bigger than the Minnesota State Fair.
With record attendance numbers in recent years, culminating in an all-time high of over 2.1 million attendees in 2019, a question arises: Has the Minnesota State Fair peaked?
The Minnesota State Fair starts August 22nd and runs through September 2nd. The event attracts 2 million people who come for the agricultural exhibits, animals, music, entertainment, attractions, rides, and, of course, tons of delicious food!
