At 1265 Snelling Ave. North in Saint Paul, the Minnesota State Fair is the Great Minnesota Get-Together, drawing millions each late August through Labor Day. The 322-acre grounds transform into a buzzing campus of stages, barns and rides, with the Grandstand anchoring marquee concerts and special events. From country and rock to pop and comedy, Grandstand lineups pair chart-toppers with emerging acts, capped by fireworks that paint the summer sky.
Between shows, fans roam the Mighty Midway and Kidway, float above the crowd on the SkyGlider, race down the Giant Slide, or cool off on Ye Old Mill. Food is its own headliner: cheese curds, Pronto Pups, roasted corn and Sweet Martha's Cookie Jar buckets are musts. Free stages like the Leinie Lodge Bandshell and West End Market keep music going all day, while the Miracle of Birth Center showcases newborn farm animals.
Whether you’re planning a full fair day or heading straight for a Grandstand concert, accessible seating, family zones and clear wayfinding make it easy to navigate. Buy Minnesota State Fair tickets from Vivid Seats for secure checkout, a 100% Buyer Guarantee and Rewards you can actually use.
