About Minnesota State Fair

The Minnesota State Fair’s mission is to educate and involve our guests by providing a world-class showcase that is innovative, entertaining and fun.

This end-of-summer tradition is always held the 12 days leading up to and through Labor Day. The 2012 Minnesota State Fair runs Aug. 23 - Sept. 3.

The fair employs 70 year-round full-time staff members. During the summer, 150 seasonal staff are added. Close to 2,700 people are hired as fair-time staff members.

Located mid-way between Minneapolis and St. Paul, the 320-acre Minnesota State Fairgrounds is renowned for its beautiful gardens and architecture reflecting the art deco and Works Progress Administration eras.
