The East Texas State Fair is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes through the operation of an annual event promoting education, entertainment, and the spirit of competition.
The Fair is committed to agricultural heritage, families, and service to the community. Our mission is also to create commerce for Tyler and Smith County by providing venues for others to utilize and by drawing participants to the complex. Since 1992 the East Texas State Fair has awarded over $2.1 million to East Texas youth.
