Interviews & Photography

  • If you have interview or photography requests you would like us to coordinate, please plan accordingly and call, text, or email ahead of time.
  • Employees of the State Fair Park may not talk to media unless approved by the Communications Department. Please contact the Communications Department to coordinate an interview.
  • You may film or photograph State Fair events and activities, with the exception of the State Fair Main Stage and Bank Five Nine Amphitheater headliners. Media clearance for these artists is required in advance of the State Fair, so if you are interested, you must let us know ahead of time.
  • For television stations that wish to send a live truck to the State Fair Park and have a specific location request, please contact the Communications Department prior to your arrival. We will do our best to reserve your location, advise you of which gate to enter, and coordinate a required escort.
