Sponsorships
The Minnesota State Fair is the ideal platform to reach nearly 1.8 million potential customers in only 12 days. Affectionately-known as the Great Minnesota Get-Together, the fair's ever-growing and loyal fan base is what makes it the must-stop destination for sponsors and mobile marketing units across the country. Surveys reveal that a whopping 85% of guests visit the fair every year while 12% visit every other year or every five years.
Now in its 147th edition, this high-profile 12-day fair features over 1,200 exhibit booths including 300 food vendors and dozens of media broadcasting from the grounds. Not to mention the barns full of animals, a carnival midway and a multitude of attractions for all ages. More than 600 free entertainment performances, a two-day rodeo, plus a Grandstand stage presenting internationally known artists such Brad Paisley, 3 Doors Down, Fergie and Bonnie Raitt are also among the offerings.
We are proud to be associated with sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Ford, Cub Foods, Qwest, Gold'n Plump, Comcast, Crystal Sugar and we invite your company to tap the sales and marketing power of the highest daily-attended event in all of North America.
