The Grand Canyon State is gearing up for a historic celebration as the Arizona State Fair prepares to mark its 140th anniversary with a "birthday" theme this year. The fair, which has become a beloved annual tradition for Arizonans, is set to run from September 20 to October 27, remaining open from Thursday through Sunday each week. According to ABC15, last year's fair drew in a crowd of 1.4 million visitors, setting the stage for an expectedly sizeable turnout for the 2024 edition.
This year's fair promises a plethora of activities including thrilling rides, animal petting areas, exhibitions of local art and community stage performances for more than a million attendees—and of course, the quintessential Fair Food on a stick. The event buzz is creating waves on social media with the fair actively promoting the upcoming festivities on various platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube, as detailed by a official announcement.
In a flash sale that is sure to attract throngs of eager buyers, the fair is offering special discounted online presale tickets for general admission. The deal runs on Tuesday, February 13, with two tickets available for the total of $14, amounting to $7 each from 1:40 p.m. to 4 p.m., followed by another flash presale on Wednesday, February 14, with tickets going for $10 each during the same hours, as reported by ABC15.
