State Fair of Texas
If you’re heading to the state fair this year, don your cowboy hat and grab those boots because this year the State Fair is celebrating Texas icons.
From Dr. Pepper and Blue Bell Ice Cream to George Strait and Sam Houston, the 2020 Texas Fair theme is “Celebrating Texas Icons,” according to a press release. Artwork for this year’s Fair celebrates oil derricks, mockingbirds, bluebonnets, armadillos and 55-foot-tall cowboy Big Tex.
“Every year, we strive to commemorate and celebrate the Lone Star State, and all those who make our great state what it is,” Mitchell Glieber, State Fair of Texas President, says in a press release. “This year’s theme is symbolic of all of our efforts to recognize the legendary status our icons have in our state’s culture, and throughout the world – from details in fairground attractions to museum exhibits showcasing their accomplishments.”
The 2020 Texas State Fair will run from Sept. 25 to Oct. 18 at Fair Park so mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate Texas!
