STAND · MINNESOTA STATE FAIR

Minnesota Wine Country

The Minnesota Wine & Grape Alliance is a member organization dedicated to providing resources and support to grape growers across the state, offering educational materials, networking and industry insights. Its members staff the State Fair pour, and the Alliance calls for volunteers at the fair each year.

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.
