There’s nothing quite like fall in Arizona. The cooler evening breeze, the smell of fresh funnel cake in the air, the glow of carnival lights against the desert sky, and the shared excitement of a community coming together.
This year, the Arizona State Fair returns Del 1 de octubre al 1 de noviembre, and our official 2026 theme is Un estado de asombro—a celebration of all the homegrown magic, talent, and traditions that make the Grand Canyon State so special.
To mark the occasion, we’ve teamed up once again with our good friends at Estado Cuarenta y ocho to drop an exclusive, limited-edition shirt that lets you wear your Arizona pride right on your sleeve!
More Than Just a Shirt: Unlock FREE Admission Every Thursday!
We wanted this year’s collab to give back to the fans who make the Fair so unforgettable. When you pre-order the 2026 State Forty Eight Fair tee, you aren’t just getting a high-quality, ultra-comfortable piece of local apparel—you’re securing your golden ticket to the gate.
🎟️ The Fair Perk: Wear your 2026 State Forty Eight Fair tee on ANY Thursday during the 2026 Fair season, and you’ll get FREE general admission at the gate!
Whether you’re stopping by for lunch on your break or spending the whole evening riding the La Grande Wheel, wearing your shirt gets you straight into the fun without paying a dime for entry.
Support Local! $5 from every shirt sold goes directly back to the Arizona State Fair Foundation, helping fund the preservation of Fairgrounds and traditions for generations to come.
