Minnesota State Fair Opens in Saint Paul August 23
Counselor Realty agents know that the best homes in St. Paul are about more than just having a place to sleep at night. Buying here is a chance to be a part of one of America's most thriving and vibrant communities.
When you decide on St. Paul, you're entering a city that has its own history, character, and a truly bright future. People love living here, and one of the ways they express that is through all the many great events that volunteers and organizations put together.
Plus, St. Paul means you'll be convenient to many major statewide and national occasions.
One of these is the Minnesota State Fair, which takes place at a specially dedicated fairground. It sits about halfway between Minneapolis and St. Paul on more than 300 acres – all replete with gorgeous gardens and beautiful architecture inspired by Art Deco style.
The Minnesota State Fair is coming, and you'll want to be there!
The Minnesota State Fair is One of America's Biggest Events of Its Kind
The Minnesota State Fair has been an annual tradition since all the way back in 1854, bringing attention to the area even before it officially became a state. The Fair was intended to highlight the region's agricultural production and draw more settlers from out east.
These days, it's known and loved as the "Great Minnesota Get-Together."
Nearly two million visitors from throughout the state and all around the country will come to the event, which runs from Thursday, August 23rd all the way to Monday, September 3rd ... giving you plenty of time to join in on all of the family-friendly fun.
About 500 staff members and volunteers will join together to lead the Fair this year!
Highlights include:
- Grandstand Shows|
Grandstand shows take place at the end of every day at the Fair and require a separate ticket for seating. You can purchase your ticket online to shows including Niall Horan, Sugarland, The Beach Boys, and even Earth, Wind, and Fire featuring special guest Sinbad! - Rides and Attractions
A traditional state fair wouldn't be complete without some amazing rides! You'll find plenty of different options for adults and kids. The most intense thrill rides are located at Adventure Park. Rides for little ones await at Kidway, and you can enjoy games of skill on the Mighty Midway. - Booths and Showcases
There are all sorts of things to see at the Fair. Mini-exhibits on agriculture, sustainable living, and history will prove interesting for visitors of all ages. Many local sports teams will be on hand, and you can see unforgettable shows like the Amateur Talent Contest.
The Minnesota State Fair is one outing that lives up to its reputation as one of the best of the year. Here in St. Paul, you'll have the opportunity to get in on all the action with the convenience that only a local home can provide you. Simply put, you won't have to miss a minute.
