Saturday Was the Single Busiest Day at the Minnesota State Fair Ever

Saturday, September 1st, 2018 set the record for the busiest single day at the Minnesota State Fair with a whopping 270,426 people passing through the gates.

The old record single-day attendance record of 260,374 was set in 2016.

Will that record fall? Attendance will need to average 181,694 per day over the final two days of the fair -- with final numbers expected to be released on Tuesday.
