New Mexico State Fair 2024 Guide | Albuquerque News

Get ready for the wildest ride of the year at the New Mexico State Fair, running September 10–20 at Expo New Mexico! Save $5 on tickets by buying online—adults pay $20 at the gate, seniors and kids 6–12 are $15/$10, and kids 5 and under get in free. Rides open later than the fairgrounds, so plan accordingly. Parking’s $10 weekdays, $20 weekends—use Gate One or Eight—or hop on the free park-and-ride from Coronado Center on weekends. This year’s lineup? Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, a moving 9/11 tribute, classic car shows (including Route 66!), concerts with Turnpike Troubadours and Tanya Tucker, plus themed days for seniors, military, and tech lovers. Beyond the thrills: pig races, duck races, sea lions, mechanical bulls, deep-fried foodie madness (yakisoba noodles included!), a giant snake exhibit, petting zoo, and live music across genres. Don’t miss the ultimate fair experience—fun, food, and unforgettable memories. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
