Good to know
- Do I need a pass to get into the Fair?
- No. Admission is free for everyone. A pass adds the lounge, parking and the other benefits above, every day of the Fair.
- Where do I park?
- VIP guests park in a marked, preferred VIP lot. Fair Plus includes regular weekend parking, so you don’t need a separate parking pass. Show your pass at the parking gate.
- Is a pass for one person?
- Yes. Each pass is for one person and is good every scheduled Fair day, November 27–29, 2026.
- How do meet-and-greets and reserved seats work?
- They’re reservation-based and limited by seating, schedules and space. We’ll tell passholders how to reserve before the Fair. A VIP pass doesn’t guarantee a place at every meet-and-greet.
- When do I get my keepsake package?
- There’s one package per VIP pass, picked up once at the Fair. We’ll send pickup details to passholders before the Fair.
- Who do I ask about my pass?
