The fair runs Sept 25 – Oct 18, 2026. Fair weekends are the busiest dates of the year here and fill early — book direct for the best rate, or view the listing on Airbnb.
Fair Park is a 277-acre National Historic Landmark and the home of the State Fair of Texas — Big Tex, the Cotton Bowl, the Art Deco Esplanade, the fried-food halls and the Midway. From the front door it is about a ten-minute walk to the gates, so you can head over for the morning, come back to rest, and return for the evening lights without ever moving the car.
