The Arizona State Fair announced Tuesday morning the dates for the 2024 event.
It will run Sept. 20 to Oct. 27.
This is the 140th anniversary of the Arizona State Fair, so the theme of this year’s event is “Birthday.”
Wanell Costello, manager of the Arizona State Fair, says, “140 years is not a small milestone. We are thrilled to celebrate over a century of traditions and bring the community together for the biggest birthday party in the state.”
