2010 Arizona State Fair Opens

Arizona State Fair
by Megan Stanton on Oct 15th, 2010
The 2010 Arizona State Fair is underway today in Phoenix, AZ. The state fair began back in 1884, and has been running ever since, with the exception of several years when there were issues with cotton crops.
Each year, the Arizona State Fair includes approximately 300 Commercial Sales Booths, and 75 different rides. It is considered one of the top 5 state fairs in the United States.
This year’s fair will run from Friday, October 15 until Sunday, November 7, with the exception of Mondays and Tuesdays. There is sure to be something for everyone.
Tickets to the fair are $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 5-13, and $5 for adults over the age of 55. Children that are under 5-years-old get in for free. The fair will be open on Wednesdays & Thursdays from 12:00 PM until 10:00 PM, On Fridays from 12:00 PM until 11:30 PM, Saturdays from 10:00 AM until 11:30 PM, and Sundays from 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM.
Parking for the fair is $10 in the main lot located on 19th Avenue and Monte Vista or Encanto Blvd. If you wish to save on parking, you can save $5 by parking in the 20th Avenue and Encanto parking lot.
There will be plenty of entertainment, including performances by Jason Derulo, Blake Shelton, Bret Michaels, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Colbie Caillat, and many more.
This year’s Arizona State Fair is expected to drawl well over 1 million people. The record attendance for the fair was set in 2006, when 1,303,690 people attended the event.
