The 2026 Minnesota State Fair Featured Design is a tribute to the extensive and varied array of State Fair favorites that guests look forward to every year. The design is showcased on a variety of merchandise items for sale at statefairwear.com and at State FairWear Gift Shops.
Interspersed within the abstract, playful and modern design are iconic fair images, including a donut, cookie, guitar, crop art, Ferris wheel, burger and much more. Architectural and horticultural elements such as a horse, bee, flower, pig and others are interwoven throughout. The contemporary color palette incorporates the green, blue and orange hues of a Minnesota summer. The 2026 Featured Design, created by the State Fair’s creative team, is available on a variety of merchandise items for sale, including posters, T-shirts, magnets, postcards, tote bags, coffee mugs and pins.
Featured Design merchandise is sold online and in-store during the fair at State FairWear Gift Shops from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (8 p.m. Labor Day); Grandstand opens at 9 a.m.
State FairWear Gift Shops are located at West End Gate (just inside Gate 16), the Grandstand Building (lower level, south center section) and at Visitors Plaza (on the corner of Dan Patch Ave. & Underwood St.)
