MINNESOTA STATE FAIR EMPLOYMENT CENTER
The Employment Center refers persons interested in working for Minnesota State Fair departments and concessionaires. Fair-time staff begins work on the opening day of the fair. This year’s fair runs from August 23 through September 3. The Employment Center staff will work to help find a position that best suits your skills and talents. However, there is no guarantee that a position will be available for every applicant.
Fair-time Employment Opportunities:
Available fair-time positions may include ticket takers, ticket sellers, parking attendants, cashiers, retail sales, food service, etc. We do not post specific fair-time jobs on our web site because the availability changes frequently. Note: the number of applicants exceeds the number of jobs available.
- The Employment Center refers applicants to positions with employers
- The employer interviews, makes the decision to hire, and compensates the employee
- Fair-time positions require that the applicant be at least 16 years of age or older
- Applicants must be available to work all 12 days of the fair
- We do not accept registrations from 14 and 15 year olds
- There is no guarantee that applicants will be referred to a job or get hired
If you registered (in person or on-line) or worked in 2007 through 2011, you do not need to register again. You must stop by the Employment Center to update and re-activate your registration.
Please do not register more than one time. It does not improve your chances of being referred to a job interview.
If you are interested in working the 12 days of the fair, the registration for referral will be available on-line May 7, 2012. To activate your registration, you must visit the Employment Center in person.
