We’re officially kicking off the 2026 Arizona State Fair season with big news:
This year’s theme is… A State of Wonder 💭🌌✨
From October 1 through November 1, 2026 (Thursdays–Sundays), we’re inviting you to discover the wonder that is right here at the Arizona State Fairgrounds. This year’s theme is about highlighting the unforgettable wonder that lives in every corner of our Fair and State.
For us, “Wonder” is the glow of the Midway against the Phoenix skyline. It’s the sheer excitement in a child’s eyes as they conquer their first big-kid ride. It’s the discovery that your competitive entry is a blue-ribbon winner, and the delicious anticipation of that first bite of classic Fair food.
We believe the Fair is already a place of inherent wonder as a hub of connection, joy, and shared adventure. This year, we want to take that wonder we all feel and truly elevate it.
