How can it be that summer is nearing an end? The 2024 Minnesota State Fair is August 22 through Labor Day, September 2.  

For fairgoers with disabilities, taking time to prepare for a day of fair fun can pay off with a much more enjoyable and comfortable experience. Access Press works with the Minnesota State Fair staff to prepare a disability guide and an accessible dining guide each year.  

This year’s access guide is on page 8. Learn about what new features are available for fair-goers. 

Our accessible dining guide appears on page 9. Lots of new foods and longtime favorites await. 

One more reminder is to visit our friends at the Minnesota Council on Disability booth in the fair’s Education Building. They will have lots of free information and resources for people with disabilities, their family members, their caregivers and their allies.
