For the first time in its 134-year history, the State Fair of Texas is proud to introduce the Big Tex Fair Food Drive-Thru. This one-of-a-kind drive-thru experience will celebrate all things Texan – giving you the opportunity to get your annual photo with Big Tex and a taste of the Fair while supporting the State Fair of Texas’s nonprofit mission. Join us at the most Texan place on earth to get your fair food fix September 25-27, October 2-4, 9-12, 16-18, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with all tickets pre-sold in three entry windows to best serve the Drive-Thru guests.

Do you just want your annual photo with Big Tex? Join us on September 19 - 20 for a photo-only Drive-Thru experience. The photo-only activation will operate from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with all tickets pre-sold in three entry windows to reduce wait times at Big Tex Circle.

We expect the line to enter to take around one to two hours. Once you have scanned your ticket at the entry, the Drive-Thru should take approximately 45-90 minutes with food, drink, and restroom stops along the route.
