The State Fair of Texas will be held from September 24 through October 17, after being canceled last year due to the Covid pandemic.  It's is a celebration of a rich agriculture heritage where visitors can interact with livestock exhibitors and purchase "Made in Texas" items. 

To showcase the growing wine sector of Texas agriculture, the fair hosts Texas wines in the Wine Garden for all 24 days, and a Blue Ribbon Selection Wine Competition selects 12 wines to be showcased all 24 days in a dedicated tasting window.

More than 5,200 students participate in the youth events and leadership contests, including Ag Awareness Day on October 6. Big Tex Urban Farms is a revolutionary, mobile agriculture system in the heart of Fair Park. The project  has proved itself to be a successful experiment and as of June, has grown 10, 582 pounds, 11,694 servings and 11,235 heads of greens.
