PARKING

Park to the southwest of the fair. Ash and Francis street by the Patriot Field and Deseret Industries have plenty of street parking. There is a trolley that goes by frequently that will drop you off right at the front gate! You can also choose to support local businesses and organizations by parking in paid parking around town.


TICKETS

Depending on the time of day, the lines to enter get long. Buy your gate tickets ahead of time online! This lets you skip the lines and proceed directly to the entrance to scan the code on your phone to enter. Even better, if you plan on going next year watch for the happy passes to go on sale. This lets you get in every day for a deeply discounted price. They usually go on sale around Christmas - perfect stocking stuffers!
