The 2024 North Dakota State Fair had an attendance of 342,430 visitors, according to fair officials.

Although not a record-breaking attendance as in 2023 when the fair drew 356,534 visitors, this year’s fair was proclaimed a success.

Reflecting on this year’s fair, Craig Rudland, general manager for the State Fair, said, “We are thrilled with the incredible turnout and the community’s enthusiasm. The spirit and support of our attendees made it a memorable event. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year for another fantastic experience.”

This marked the 59th year of the fair being a state fair. Those attending the fair were able to enjoy and take part in a wide range of activities, exhibits and entertainment.

Plans for next year’s fair are already underway. The 2025 fair is set for July 18-26.
