RV Rentals at State Fair of Texas
The State Fair of Texas isn’t just Dallas’ most celebrated event, but it’s also regarded as one of the most highly attended and best state fairs in America. It occurs annually at the end of September and lasts for 24 days, taking place at the historic Fair Park. The event has occurred every year since 1886, with the exception of some periods during World War I and World War II. It is also the only fair in the US to include a full auto show, which dates back to 1913. Each year, the fair celebrates a theme that is important to Texas. This year’s theme is being together! Mitchell Glieber, State Fair of Texas president quotes, “None of us could have predicted all that the COVID-19 pandemic would bring with it, but we feel so grateful to carry on the State Fair’s 136-year history and welcome everyone back with a warm, "Howdy, Folks!," this year. We’re excited to make up for lost time and help families and friends from all walks of life reconnect again, while making new memories to last a lifetime.”
