September 27 through October 20, 2024

The State Fair is celebrating 24 days of fun in 2024. Riding DART means more time enjoying the fair -- and less time getting there. From pig races, fried food and Creative Arts entries to concerts, football games and Midway action, the State Fair has something for everyone.

To make your ride as smooth as possible, DART recommends buying your passes with the GoPass® app. It’s the most convenient way to pay your fare, particularly if you’re traveling in a large group.

_{Please note: If you purchase your fare at the platform with a GoPass® Tap card, a contactless credit or debit card, or a payment-enabled mobile device, you must use a unique form of contactless payment for each rider. Your contactless card or digital wallet serves as your ticket and proof of payment.}

DART makes it easy and affordable to enjoy your day at the fair. Just ride the DART Rail Green Line to Fair Park Station, located on Parry Avenue at the entrance to the fairgrounds, or MLK, Jr. Station, located south of R.B. Cullum Blvd. and convenient to the MLK fairground entrance (Gate 6) and Cotton Bowl Stadium.
