When the sun sets over Fair Park, the magic of the State Fair of Texas really shines bright! The lights of the Midway glow brighter, the sounds of laughter grow louder, and the scents of funnel cakes and cotton candy fill the cool evening air. And here’s the best part: every day after 5 p.m., everyone gets in for the kids’ price!
That’s right – whether you’re coming out for a weeknight adventure, a Friday date night, or a weekend evening stroll with friends, you can all pay the kids’ price admission posted for that day. It’s our way of saying: come on y’all, let’s have some fun!
The Nights Are Bright at the Fair
There’s nothing quite like the Fair after dark. The fun really kicks into high gear as the evening lights up with:
- The Drive Like a Texan Starlight Parade at 7 p.m. – a glowing procession of floats, dancers, and Fair flair winding its way through the grounds.
- The Mattress Firm Illumination Sensation at 7:30 p.m. – a dazzling display of fireworks, lights, music, and dancing on the Esplanade.
- Music throughout the fairgrounds – from big-name headliners to local Texas talent throughout the grounds.
- The flavors of the Fair – because nothing pairs better with a night under the lights than a warm funnel cake or a stick of classic cotton candy.
Perfect for Date Night or Fair Time with Friends
The after-5 p.m. discount makes it easier than ever to grab your sweetheart, your besties, or your whole crew and enjoy an evening at the State Fair. Share a corny dog, win a stuffed animal on the Midway, and soak in the sights of Big Tex watching over it all.
So, what are you waiting for? Come be a kid again – every night after 5 p.m. at the State Fair of Texas!
