Located two miles east of downtown Dallas in Fair Park, the festival features an array of cooking, arts and crafts, livestock shows and auctions. Collegiate football games, headline concerts and the automobile show complete the three-week fair experience. There are two landmarks that underscore the grand scale of the fair: Big Tex and the Texas Star Ferris wheel. Big Tex is a larger than life cowboy figure converted from the worlds tallest Santa Claus. Big Tex first appeared on the fair grounds in 1952 and continues to welcome visitors in his Texas attire and booming voice. The Texas Star Ferris wheel is the tallest Ferris wheel in North America at 212 feet. Admission: USD11 for adults, USD7 for seniors (age 60 and over) and children (age 3 to 48 inches). Parking is USD7. Most shows and attractions are free with general admission. Food, rides and drinks operate on a coupon system. Coupons may be purchased at booths situated throughout the grounds.

"Come out and vist Big Tex, he greatyou at the front entrance every year. This fair is huge. Make sure you bring you walking shoes and lots of cash. The ride are expensive unless you get a wrist band. So much food to choose from you have to try the State fair corn Dogs, turkey legs, fried Twinkies and this year they had fried coke. Lots of fun. Check out the website for special discount days."
