ABOUT US
The Minnesota State Fair is a financially self-supporting quasi-state agency.
The annual production of the State Fair, along with all improvements and maintenance of the 320-acre State Fairgrounds, are financed exclusively through revenue produced by the State Fair's year-round operations and contributions from the State Fair Foundation.
The State Fair has received no public money of any kind since 1949.
