Without a doubt, State Fairs are among the most exciting, visually appealing, and family-friendly events in the U.S.

How did the whole thing get started? The history of specific State Fairs is varied, but many began as local gatherings of settlers who missed their homes and wanted to showcase the traditions they remembered, such as food or crafts.

Originally, most State Fairs involved competitive showings of livestock, displays of farm products, and contests among fairgoers in categories like handicrafts, baked goods, and jellies. As State Fairs became more popular, they added more activities, which included carnival amusement games, car races and shows, tests of strength and skill, musical entertainment, thrill rides, educational events, and a wide variety of food and beverages. Large State Fairs can host more than a million visitors over the course of a week or two.

Every State Fair is different –- so try to attend as many as you can!
