It's been 50 years since WCCO has been at its current location at the Great Minnesota Get-Together. The animals and the food haven't changed too much over the years, but you could say the entertainment has.

The Minnesota State Fair kicks off this week and to celebrate, Gopher Athletics has announced some amazing State Fair Specials.

Minnesotans have submitted thousands of artworks from all four corners of the state. Whether it’s a painting of a Texas longhorn or a photograph of a woman grieving, Minnesotans are expressing themselves.

Have questions about tickets, transportation or how to save a few bucks at the Great Get-Together? Here's your complete guide to the 2025 State Fair.

Biking to the fair — which opens tomorrow (Thursday, August 21) and runs through Labor Day — is also an excellent way to travel! The free bike corrals near the entrances are staffed full-time, and arriving by bike offers the simplicity of traveling straight to and from your destination with no extra steps or waiting.

Midwest Dairy announced on Wednesday that the 72nd Princess Kay of the Milky Way was crowned during a ceremony at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds the same day.

With the State Fair just a week away, organizers are urging visitors to plan ahead for traffic, parking and travel options.
