Important Gate Access & Accepted Forms of Currency Changes for 2025

There will be three (3) active gates open during Fair Week, Gates 2 & 3 (off Eastland Road) and Gate 5 (Main Entrance off Bagley Road). Fair Gates have gone cashless in 2025. Guests are encouraged to purchase tickets online or pay at Gates 2, 3, or 5 using credit cards, debit cards, or digital wallets (such as Apple Pay, Google Wallet, etc.) with no added fees. While Gates 2 and 5 are cashless, cash-to-card kiosks will be available at those gates for guests with cash (convenience fees will apply). 

All 2025 Concessionaires and Vendors will continue to accept cash with most also accepting credit cards; however, not all accept credit cards.
