WELCOME TO THE SOUTH TEXAS STATE FAIR!

Each spring, the South Texas State Fair transforms Beaumont into an 11-day destination for family fun, food, shopping, and entertainment. As the largest annual event in Southeast Texas, the Fair attracts nearly 200,000 guests to Doggett Ford Park.

The Fair is much more than carnival rides and midway lights. The first weekend features the exciting YMBL Rodeo, followed by the high-energy Chute-Out Bull Ride during the second weekend. Throughout the run of the Fair, the Ag Barns are filled with hundreds of hardworking FFA and 4-H students participating in livestock and poultry shows, all leading up to the popular youth auction.

Hosted by the Young Men's Business League, the Fair is the organization’s primary fundraiser, helping support local youth programs, scholarships, charitable efforts, and community initiatives throughout the year.

For vendors, this is an opportunity to place your business in front of thousands of local families and visitors who come ready to shop, explore, and enjoy themselves.


Indoor Vendors

Our climate-controlled Exhibit Hall is home to retail vendors, boutiques, specialty products, home services, community booths, demonstrations, and unique shopping experiences.


Outdoor Food & Vendor Spaces

Southeast Texans love fair food, and our outdoor grounds are built for it. From classic favorites to creative new flavors, food vendors enjoy strong traffic from guests looking to eat, snack, and indulge all day long. Outdoor space is also available for select commercial and specialty vendors.

When you participate as a vendor, you’re not just selling products... you’re becoming part of Southeast Texas’ most recognized tradition and helping give back to the community.
