The State Fair of Texas opens today with exciting new attractions as part of its free entertainment lineup at the 2024 event.
Elevate your visit to the most Texan place on earth by adding these must-see additions to your itinerary.
From Thursday, Oct. 3, to Sunday, Oct. 6, State Fair of Texas attendees will witness the first-ever drone show at the Fair.
Come see Big Tex in the sky for this limited-time attraction. All four nightly shows will begin immediately after the Mattress Firm Illumination Sensation at approximately 8:25 p.m.
Get ready to rock with the newest addition to the Fringe Stage, Steve Goodtime!
Performing gnarly guitar solos with wild stunts, this show is guaranteed to thrill every fairgoer. Guitar amp rola bola, dangerous thingy juggling, hotdog magic and fitting into tiny leopard print pants are just a few of the unbelievable things you’ll see.
Attend Dino Time with Professor T. Rex and his dino-wrangler at the lagoon as they bring their favorite dinosaurs through his time machine to meet fairgoers.
This show is intended for children under 10 years old and will give them an opportunity to meet small dinosaurs.
Step into the culinary spotlight at the Creative Arts cooking demonstrations in the kitchen with Cutco, where the State Fair’s resident chef Pete Nolasco will perform live demonstrations daily.
Watch as he crafts mouthwatering dishes, shares insider tips and invites the audience to participate in an immersive gourmet experience like no other.
You will also experience the unique artistry of Chad Kilpatrick as he skillfully carves raw wood into stunning sculptures with his chainsaw and other common power tools.
Don’t miss the Chainsaw Carver and his one-of-a-kind demonstration outside the Children’s Aquarium on First Avenue.
Premium daily admission tickets are now available for purchase at BigTex.com/Tickets.
The 2024 State Fair of Texas will run through Sunday, Oct. 20.
