PARKING
Parking is free on the State Fairgrounds, we recommend the Robin lot, or the West Como lot (just south of Como Ave), located on the official Minnesota State Fair MAP and are the closest parking lots to the main gate (located at Liggett & Carnes). Accessible parking is located on West Dan Patch Ave with appropriate displayed credentials. You may leave your vehicle overnight in these lots, to be picked up the next day.
