NEWS: Minnesota State Fair Reaches New Attendance High Dining Lifestyle by Twin Cities Arts Reader - September 3, 2019 Closing-night vehicular accident and shootings notwithstanding, the Minnesota State Fair soared to new heights in 2019. Fairgoers walked through the gates some 2,126,551 times – 3.9 percent more than 2018, which itself set records. Six of the twelve fair days set records for those days.
