Welcome to the Arizona State Fairgrounds

What Did Wonder Look Like for You?

Maybe it was the view from the top of the Ferris wheel, your first bite of a funnel cake, or spotting a blue ribbon next to something you made. Those little moments made the 2026 Arizona State Fair A State of Wonder.

Feel Good. Give Back.

You turned Fridays at the Fair into something bigger. Thank you to everyone who donated canned food during Feel Good Fridays to help St. Mary’s Food Bank feed our Arizona neighbors.

Local Talent. Big Stage.

Arizona’s music scene brought the energy to Battle of the Bands! Thank you to every band that took the stage and every fan who showed up to cheer them on.

Hometown Sound. Unforgettable Night.

Thank you to Arizona’s own Gin Blossoms for rocking the Coliseum! Presented by the Arizona Lottery, this hometown show gave Fair fans a night to remember.

A Visit from Smokey Bear.

Smokey Bear brought an important message to A State of Wonder! Thank you to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management for helping Fair fans learn how to prevent wildfires and protect the Arizona we love.

“See You Next October!” — Gonzo

Nobody loves the Fair quite like Gonzo! Thanks for sharing in the fun and helping us celebrate A State of Wonder. We’ll see you back at the Arizona State Fair, September 30–October 30, 2027!
