Indiana State Fair

The 2026 Indiana State Fair promises another summer-packed celebration of community, culture, and all the fun you expect from Indiana’s biggest annual event. Set at the Indiana State Fairgrounds & Event Center in Indianapolis — 214 acres of barns, exhibits, rides and more — the fair will bring together crowds of locals and visitors alike to enjoy food, music, livestock shows, crafts, and family-friendly entertainment.

Expect the fair to feature a lively mix of carnival rides, agricultural showcases, craft demonstrations, and live performances on its free stage. From exploring barnyard animals and 4-H exhibitions to sampling fair food and enjoying live music or circus acts under the big top, there’s something for everyone. The fair is always a place where tradition meets summer fun.
