The State Fair of Texas is a casual, family-friendly environment. We suggest you dress comfortably, wear walking shoes – or cowboy boots if you prefer – and check the local weather report before you leave for the Fair.
Proper attire, including shoes and shirts, must always be worn. Texas themed shirts and hats are acceptable and encouraged.
The State Fair of Texas reserves the right to deny admission to or remove any person wearing attire that is considered inappropriate or could detract from the experience of other guests.
Ensuring the State Fair is family-friendly is an important part of the Fair experience. In that spirit, we ask you to use your discretion and common sense.
Attire that is not appropriate for the Fair — and may result in refusal of admittance — includes but is not limited to:
- Clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics.
- Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment.
- Clothing with multiple layers are subject to search upon entry.
- Offensive tattoos
- Costumes or masks (unless they are for medical purposes) may not be worn by guests 12 years of age or older.
- Costumes may not contain any weapons that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
- Masks may not cover the head and face entirely. Eyes must be visible.
- Guests who do not adhere to these guidelines may be refused entry and/or removed from the State Fair of Texas, unless attire can be modified to meet the above standards.
