Show your support to the SD State Fair Park by becoming a Friend of the Fair!

Register Online

As a Friend of the Fair, you will be directly impacting the future of the SD State Fair Park. Money raised through the program will go directly to the South Dakota State Fair Foundation. The objective of the foundation is to raise funds for the preservation and renovation of the South Dakota State Fair Park. Foundation funds will be used on special fair park projects and to enhance the amenities on the State Fair Park.

Friends will receive a reminder letter in early June stating when grandstand tickets will be available for presale, for how long they will be available and any other necessary instructions.

The Friends of the Fair membership runs from January 1 to December 31.

To become a Friend of the Fair, register online. Beginning June 17, you can sign up to be a Friends of the Fair and then immediately have access to purchase tickets. If you have questions or comments, please contact Candi Hettinger at the State Fair Office at (605) 353-7354.
