The Great Minnesota Get-Together!

The Minnesota State Fair


The largest state fair in the United States and simply, the best! Over two million people from all over the world visit the fair every year. It's a way of life for Minnesotans. The fair has been going since 1854, with only a few breaks in between due to world wars or epidemics. See photos below of past fairs!
