2026 Featured Design

2026 Minnesota State Fair Featured Design

The Minnesota State Fair’s exclusive featured design debuted in 2024. This year, the featured design is a tribute to the extensive and varied array of State Fair favorites that guests look forward to every year. Interspersed within the abstract, playful and modern design are iconic fair images, including a donut, cookie, guitar, crop art, Ferris wheel, burger and much more. Architectural and horticultural elements such as a horse, bee, flower, pig and others are interwoven throughout. The contemporary color palette incorporates the green, blue and orange hues of a Minnesota summer.

The 2026 Featured Design is a digital illustration created by the State Fair’s creative team. It will be showcased on a variety of merchandise items for sale, including posters, T-shirts, magnets, postcards, tote bags, coffee mugs and pins. The items are sold at statefairwear.com and during the fair at State FairWear Gift Shops on the fairgrounds.
