Opening Day for the Minnesota State Fair is August 21st - just one day after ALR wraps up! Join your NAFDMA friends to explore this State Fair, known for being a leader in culinary and event innovations.  Pre-order your tickets through NAFDMA at a discounted rate and ride the free shuttle bus to the fair. 

Tickets will be provided on-site to all individuals who order them through the ALR registration system. 

Free Shuttle bus pick up/drop off location is next door to our host hotel.  Shuttle service is provided through the Minnesota State Fair and all schedule information is maintained through their website HERE.

NAFDMA will not be setting travel times for this day, nor do we take any responsibility for difficulties with the shuttle service system.
