It’s the last weekend to hit the midway, eat fried food and take a selfie with Big Tex. Gates close on the State Fair of Texas on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2022.
This is the final weekend to enjoy the 2022 State Fair of Texas, greet Big Tex and scarf down your all things fried including things we didn't even know could be fried!
"A Texas-sized thank you to each person who came out to celebrate all things Texan during the 2021 State Fair of Texas. The 2022 State Fair of Texas will run from Friday, September 30 through Sunday, October 23 in Fair Park," the State Fair of Texas said in a statement.
If last year is any indication, the final three days of the fair will be packed.
In 2021, the final Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the State Fair of Texas averaged just under 150,000 people and were, respectively, the fourth, third, and sixth-most attended days of the fair’s 24-day run.
