Among our favorite things to see at the State Fair are the animals. The 165th Indiana State Fair had plenty - when it comes to numbers there were 6,600 exhibitors, whom showed or displayed a combined 45,739 animal and non-animal projects.

“This year’s Indiana State Fair was a great success. We were challenged with a few days of hot summer heat, but thankful that we had mostly beautiful weather,” said Cindy Hoye, Indiana State Fair Commission executive director. “We are proud that no other State Fair brings 4-H project work and agriculture to life like the Indiana State Fair. Thank you to our tremendous partners, from the Tom Wood Automotive Group to the hundreds of volunteers and vendors, for another great year.”
After utilizing the post-pandemic format in 2021 that limited days, folks were thrilled to have an additional weekend to attend the State Fair. The numbers revealed 837,568 fairgoers enjoyed the Fair to the fullest extent and spent their entire day at the Fair. This worked out well for many vendors and partners, who reported record sales.
