It's a slice of Americana dating back to 1841 - state fairs. If you're fortunate enough to live close to one, it's a moment to witness feats of skills and soak-up fun activities while surrounded by farm animals, judging contests, and souvenir stands.

🏆 The most popular state fair: Texas! More than 2 million guests arrive each year welcomed by a 55-foot statue of the world's tallest cowboy.

💸 The only state fair with free admission: Arizona! On select days, you can gain free admittance by donating a few canned goods at the front gates.
