The Eastern Idaho State Fair (EISF) is a week-long event over Labor Day weekend in Blackfoot, Idaho. There are concerts, rodeos, and a wide variety of food. Here are 3 things to know before you go!
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!
ENTERTAINMENT
Check the daily schedule before you go to the fair! There are different shows in the grandstand, free stage, etc. each day. If you have the chance, check out the Indian Relay Races. The main grandstand concerts are released every spring, so make sure to follow along with the EISF social media for details on entertainment, food, and giveaways!
