The South Dakota Department of Agriculture announces the South Dakota State Fair, scheduled for September 3rd through the 7th, will continue.

This year the South Dakota State Fair’s theme is ‘Perfect Vision of Fun’ and will showcase youth, tradition, agriculture, and South Dakota heritage. Planning for the Fair will look different as officials navigate challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The SDDA and the South Dakota State Fair will work diligently to implement the necessary changes to promote hygiene and health while in attendance. Components of the fair may be scaled to ensure Centers for Disease Control guidelines are being implemented. Currently, options are being researched and explored to increase additional health measures throughout the state fairgrounds.
