Overview
The Indiana State Fair is always a hit! The 2026 theme is Batter Up, Indiana.
The Indiana State Fair is held for 17 days each summer, yet it lives for generations in the memories of families who experience it together. Over 750,000 people visit the Indiana State Fair each year for family fun, carnival rides and games, barnyard animals, 4-H competitions, goat yoga, Indiana's Court open daily for free play, the Big Top Circus, fabulous fair food, and the Indiana Beer Wine & Spirits expo.
Be sure to take a ride on the new State Fair Train. All aboard for a breezy, narrated one-mile right around the north side of the fairgrounds.
