A total of 854,977 guests passed through the gates of the Indiana State Fair during its 15-day run in Indianapolis this year.

That was a slight increase compared to the 854,236 people who attended the 2024 edition of the state agricultural extravaganza, officials said.

"The Indiana State Fair is a shining example of Hoosier hospitality, showcasing the heart of our state — our people, our agriculture and our deep-rooted traditions," said Republican Gov. Mike Braun.

"I had the pleasure of visiting the fairgrounds several times this year, and it was incredible to see so many Hoosiers coming together to enjoy the music, food and festivities. Events like the state fair not only celebrate our agricultural heritage but also support economic development across our state."
