State Fair Announces Limited $5 Single-Day Tickets

Illinois State Fair fans can grab a bargain before the gates open in Springfield next month. The state is offering single-day admission tickets for just five dollars through its website from August 1st through August 12th. The discounted tickets can be used for any one day of the fair, which runs August 13th through August 23rd. This year’s lineup includes special Route 66 Centennial Celebrations, along with the fair’s traditional food, rides, exhibits, concerts, and family attractions. Fairgoers looking to save should buy early, because the five-dollar promotion ends the day before opening day.
