The Greater Baton Rouge State Fair
-
Airline Highway Park and Fairgrounds 17200 Airline Highway, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821
The Baton Rouge State Fair pulls out all the stops each year with rides galore in the carnival midway and live music almost every night. Clowns and magicians amble about while fair-goers feed on delicious fair food. Plus there's mutton bustin', lawn-tractor pulls, pig races, and an exotic animal petting zoo... and the Human Cannonball returns for 2026. Junior beef, dairy, and goat shows also add to the agricultural theme. It's a Baton Rouge tradition, this year at the Airline Highway Park and Fairgrounds at 16072 Airline Highway. All proceeds go toward local charities and scholarships. 5 pm–10 pm Mondays–Fridays; noon–10 pm Saturdays & Sundays. $15 for weekends, with optional all-rides wristbands; prices vary during the week. gbrsf.com.
