As a long-standing Dallas institution, the State Fair of Texas appreciates all the local support that makes such a big event possible every year. The State Fair aims to give back through our partnerships with local organizations and initiatives while expanding outreach programs and placing a special priority on promoting community involvement.
The Big Tex Community Ticket Program provides selected nonprofit organizations and community partners with the opportunity to attend the State Fair of Texas through donated admission tickets.

Tickets allocated through the Big Tex Community Ticket Program must be distributed to beneficiaries of your organization.
Tickets received through the Big Tex Community Ticket Program may not be sold, exchanged, or used for fundraising purposes.
Failure to comply with Big Tex Community Ticket Program guidelines will result in loss of eligibility for future ticket distributions.
