Coming from a little farther out? Metro Transit, SouthWest Transit and MVTA all offer Express Bus services to the fairgrounds too! Costs vary by provider; round-trip rides are around $6 per rider.

The Parade Route

The 14-block parade route begins near the Haunted House, goes north on Cosgrove Street, west on Randall Avenue, and south on Underwood Street ending just south of the Haunted House. See a State Fair map for the route. Parade units are announced at the Luther Auto Bandshell and the east side of Baldwin Park across from the Fine Arts Center.
