WHERE TO PARK
It’s a challenge to say the least, there are options to park off site, on the side of the road and walk up to fairgrounds or you might see people offering yards to park, but keep in mind security. If you want to self park in the Fair Park parking lots that will cost you $15.00 bring cash, or valet for $30.00. Many will simply take DART which will take you directly to the front gate of Fair Park
Headed to the Fair? Use the @dartmedia GoPass app to purchase your DART ticket AND your State Fair ticket! #BigTex pic.twitter.com/nfqaKfuUMz
