The Michigan State Fair is the second oldest state fair in the nation. It began its long run in 1849 and closed permanently in 2009 after a 161-year run. The Michigan State Fair, now sponsored by Fifth Third Bank, will be held at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi over Labor Day Weekend. Like days of old, the fair will include livestock exhibits, circus performers, entertainment tents, a beer garden, and midway. Tickets start at $6 per adult.
