Minnesota State Fair Employment Center

The Employment Center refers persons interested in working for Minnesota State Fair departments and concessionaires. The fair-time staff begins work on the opening day of the fair, which takes place this year from August 21 through September 1. The Employment Center staff will work hard to help you find a job 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
  
  
• There is no guarantee that applicants will be referred to a job or get hired
