The Arizona State Fair is happening now through Sunday, Nov. 8, 2015. An annual staple here in Arizona, the State Fair is the perfect time to get out and enjoy the cooler fall days with your family.

Get a thrill on one of the many fantastic rides that will be at the fair this year. Also, be sure to take part in the many events happening at the fairgrounds, including a petting zoo, tasty cook-offs, a UFO exhibit and even a trained hypnotist. Several terrific musical acts will also be at the fair this year, such as rocker Brett Michaels, legendary songstress Sheryl Crow and R&B star Jason Derulo.

The Arizona State Fair was held back in 1884, even before Arizona officially became a state. During the next century, the fair would become one of the most popular and reliable local events, breaking its run only for such events as the Great Depression and the WWII.

Take a look below to see full details about this year’s State Fair. To see a full calendar of events, buy tickets and to see when each musical act will perform, head over to their website now.
