Chris RAugust 28, 2018Came for the 2018 fair. Simply an outstanding state fair. Love the farm areas, fishing with the DNR, scavenger hunt, and OH MY the circus was worth the price of admission by itself this year!
Murphys SteakhouseFebruary 14, 2012Hats off to our State Fair friends and family! We are minutes from the fairgrounds- stop in on your way to or from an event there. Vendors- we are just around the corner when you are ready for a meal!
Tickets are $7 at CVS, parking is $5 at the grounds. Nothing is too far a walk from anything else. Definitely check out the craft beer this year, and all the local food!
Jasmine O'ConnerAugust 25, 2015I had a great time at the fair. I wish there were more animals, food choices and games/rides. However, I would definitely attend again. See you next year Midway and Porkys!- Cait McCreadyAugust 9, 2012Skip the $3 price of a Dairy Barn chocolate milk shake. Get a .50 chocolate milk instead. Goes down smooth and only .25 for refills. Equally cool, sweet, and creamy but fewer calories. Cheers!
Denise HoladayAugust 22, 2015Absolute best lemonade at the fair--real, fresh squeezed lemonade, not that fake shake up crap! In front of the Farm Bureau Bldg every year!
Katherine HaaseDecember 3, 2014I've been going to the fair since I was in diapers. The food and rides are great. I've always had a great time.
Julie Newell ☕August 11, 2013Use the free shuttle. Park at Glendale mall. They run every 30 minutes. Makes a crowded day a little more tolerable
Be sure and get a loaded curly fry from the Texas size curly fry stand across from the grand stands. They are awesome!! They are also huge..
The 4 Fair Food Groups: 1. Fried Cheese, 2. Hoosier Ribeye, 3. Dairy Barn Milkshake, 4. Hoosier Producers Pork Chop... Desert: Deep-fried Snickers Bar.
The maple samples in the Pioneer village are yummy. They sell small jars to take home!
Jeremy GerberAugust 5, 2012The chicken pita at the gyro stand (next door to an old time photo place) closest to the milk building is AMAZING! It's huge!!!!!
Stephanie KAugust 5, 2014$2 Tuesdays is a good deal to get a taste of everything! The doughnut burger is not $2 but it is delicious!
Aynie OlmsteadAugust 8, 2011Shahelyn's has been here for ever! They have the best traditional Lemon Shake Up you'll ever have. Buy the 32oz, best deal.- Go to the stand next to the pork tent and across from the grand stands and get a loaded curly fry.. they are awesome.
Gayle FedeleAugust 21, 2011Come see the kids race quarter midgets at the Mini Indy track on the east side of the fairgrounds! Racing from 1-7pm. You can come try out a car yourself in between races!!!

Jmarie PearsonNovember 2, 2014Going to a concert here? Don't bring your tablet or a detachable lens camera. And don't expect to find this information online prior to the event.
Jennifer DouglassAugust 9, 2011Forget the candy combo at the fried everything shack and just fully commit to the fried Twinkie, good, good stuff!
TheUrbanDailyMay 24, 2011Indiana Black Expo debuts on June 19th, 1971. Over 5,000 people attended the two-day event put together to celebrate African-American pride and accomplishments. The annual event continues to this day
Try anything deep fried. Don't worry, there are paramedics on the premises. I once saw them whip out the paddles on a guy when I was a kid (seriously).
DeeMagicGurlAugust 10, 2014Nothing like the Indiana State Fair. Check out the Dairy Barn. Get some ice cream :)
Definitely make sure to try the deep fried Tagalongs! Worth it!
CrocsAugust 6, 2011Step into a new pair of Crocs today! We're located on Main St in between the Grand Stand and the Swine Barn
Andrew LindamoodAugust 19, 2012Try the cheese finger from the Wisconsin cheese shop , they're fantastic !
