everyone knows that the last saturday is always Black Family Day at the fair. Everyone knows that in the day time its usually a lot of families and in the evening, about 7ish, its more of an older crowd. Everyone knows that at 8, the parking lots get filed with folks kickin it and by the time the fair ends, it even gets deeper. So this is their answer to all that:
Monday - Thursday 12 Noon to 10PM
Friday - Sunday and Labor Day 9 AM to 10 PM*
Exhibit Buildings Open Until 10 PM
Magnificent Midway Open Until 11 PM Monday - Thursday
Midnight Friday, Saturday*, Sunday & Labor Day
* Saturday, September 4 gates close at 7 PM, parking closes at 6:30 pm and the grounds close at 9 PM
Dam shame.
