2025 Featured Design

2025 Minnesota State Fair Featured Design
The Minnesota State Fair’s exclusive featured design debuted in 2024 with an homage – the stately red canna lily – to a key element that make the fairgrounds a one-of-a-kind gathering place. This year, the featured design is a vibrantly colorful and playful array of fair icons. At first glance, some people may only see a parade of images, but upon closer look, one will discover that the icons mimic letters and spell out “Minnesota State Fair ‘25.” Fair food favorites such as roasted corn, pickle pizza, a chocolate chip cookie, a corndog and the wild rice cheeseburger are represented, along with quintessential fair images such as livestock, the Skyride, blue ribbons, the State Fair water tower and more. The 2025 Minnesota State Fair featured design is a digital illustration created by one of the State Fair's staff designers Samuel Tapia. It will be showcased on a variety of merchandise items for sale, including kitchen towels, posters, T-shirts, magnets, tote bags and coffee mugs. Items will be available beginning July 31 at statefairwear.com and at State FairWear gift shops on the fairgrounds during the fair.
