(Dallas, Tx) – Although the State Fair of Texas has been canceled for 2020, fair executives announced late Wednesday that it will welcome smaller groups of people into Fair Park for drive-thru picnics and pictures with Big Tex, who will be wearing a mask.

State Fair of Texas will open on weekends in September and October, selling drive-thru fair food.

The State Fair of Texas would ordinarily welcome at least 2.5 million people to Fair Park over its 24-day run. This year, it’ll allow up to 100,000 cars, or less than 5% of the usual crowds, to drive through the fair grounds and pick up a Fletcher’s corny dog and other fair foods. Attendees can then drive to a designated parking lot and enjoy the food in their cars or as a picnic, as long as the groups social distance.

The Big Tex Fair Food Drive-Thru will take place on the Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays between Sept. 25 and Oct. 18. The exception is Saturday, Oct. 10, when the drive-thru will not open because of the University of Texas vs. University of Oklahoma Red River Showdown football game. To make up for it, the drive-thru is tacking on two dates: Monday, Oct. 12 and Thursday, Oct. 15.

Interested participants will sign up and pay in advance, online, at bigtex.com/drivethru.
