PLACE · MINNESOTA STATE FAIR
Mighty Midway
Classic carnival with 25+ thrill rides, games, and food. Ride tickets on a Fun Card — there is no wristband or armband programme. Open 10 AM to 11 PM (8 PM Labor Day).
The 2026 Minnesota State Fair ended on Monday, September 7, 2026. Everything below describes the 2026 fair, which is the most recent one I hold — stands, buildings and rides carry over year to year, but dates, prices and schedules do not. I update it when the fair publishes for 2027. The 2027 fair runs August 26 – September 6, 2027 — 293 days away.
