All about the Ohio State Fair

The original fair, which dates to just before the year 1850, was a three day event that showcased blue-ribbon livestock and cattle from miles around, along with the best of regional recipes but little of the razzle-dazzle we know today!

As the fair grew, it became more and more popular and it wasn't long until entertainment was a major part of the fair.

Soon enough there were kid's attractions, live music, and a Queen of the Fair contest.

Today, the fair is a modern mega-event with athletic competitions such as martial arts, boxing, cheerleading, and BMX stunts, along with food tastings, live music, monster amusement park rides, and exhibitors making up just a portion of the huge variety of entertainment options available.



Food, old-fashioned family fun, and midway thrills await at this year's Ohio State Fair.

Animals, of course, are still a huge part of the fair (don't miss the annual pig races!) which can be found either winning ribbons or fascinating kids and adults alike in the hands-on petting zoo.

Tickets to the fair traditionally range from $10 for adults to $8 for kids and seniors, with children under 5 allowed in free.
