Building new memories at the North End and defining a new destination on the fairgrounds

Your support helps the fair create new opportunities for education, entertainment and discovery when you give to the North End Project!
The North End development is the centerpiece of the State Fair’s newest neighborhood. Making its debut in 2019, the North End boasts a major new exhibit facility with a 12,000-square-foot exhibit hall, which is the fair-time home to annually changing museum-quality exhibits, as well as educational and entertainment opportunities. The North End includes features that recognize Minnesota innovations in agriculture, industry and the arts, along with uniquely Minnesota attractions, food and commercial exhibits.
It’s been nearly half a century since a whole new neighborhood was developed at the State Fair. We’re excited about this great new addition to the historic State Fairgrounds, and also about the lasting impact that this will have for future generations of fairgoers.”
