The Ohio State Fair is just a few weeks away: rides, food and more will fill the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds Wednesday, July 23 through Aug. 3.
Tickets are on sale now, at the following prices:
Advance sale tickets are available through July 22. On-site admission will begin the following day.
With admission, guests will have access to free live music, a petting zoo, the butter cow and calf sculptures, an 8-acre Natural Resources Park and more.
The fair will also return to a pre-pandemic parking policy which will charge a fee for on-ground parking.
Although free parking was offered throughout the fairgrounds last year, visitors this year can either buy $10 parking in advance or pay at parking booths at the fair.
Free parking is still available in nearby lots with free access to park-and-ride options each day of the fair.
“The mission of the Ohio State Fair has always been to celebrate Ohio and offer that celebration to fairgoers at a value,” said Adam Heffron, executive director of the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds.
“We remain committed to that mission and will use parking revenue to offset increasing operational costs while keeping the visitor experience at the forefront of the fair. The cost of admission will remain the same.”
