The Alaska State Fair has carved out a notable spot on the national stage, securing seventh place in USA Today’s annual Top 10 State Fairs poll. A panel of experts sifted through fairs nationwide to nominate their favorites, leaving the final verdict to a public vote that awarded the coveted rankings.
Other states rounding out the top tier include Ohio in tenth, Washington in ninth, Florida in eighth, Indiana in sixth, South Carolina in fifth, Texas in fourth, Wisconsin in third, Iowa in second, and Minnesota clinching the top honor.
Since its inception in 1936, the Alaska State Fair has grown into a singular spectacle.
