The State Fair is celebrating 24 days of fun in 2024. Riding DART means more time enjoying the fair -- and less time getting there. From pig races, fried food and Creative Arts entries to concerts, football games and Midway action, the State Fair has something for everyone.
Please note: If you purchase your fare at the platform with a GoPass® Tap card, a contactless credit or debit card, or a payment-enabled mobile device, you must use a unique form of contactless payment for each rider. Your contactless card or digital wallet serves as your ticket and proof of payment.
Best of all, DART gives you front-door service -- and big-time savings! Simply enter the promo code 24DARTSAVE when purchasing your fair admission on the State Fair’s website and receive $5 off fair admission. All aboard for savings!
