Indiana State Fair Canceled Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

USAgNet - The Indiana State Fair is canceled for 2020. The Indiana State Fair Commission and the Indiana State Fair Board made the announcement Thursday afternoon.

They said there will be a modified 4-H livestock show held on the State Fairgrounds in August.

“Unfortunately, key elements including vendors and partners of the Fair began falling off, and so we pivoted and found a way to still serve our communities,” Brad Chambers, Indiana State Fair commission chairman, said.

In 2019, nearly 879,000 people attended the Indiana State Fair.
