I want to go to a state fair so bad, I wish I was American

If you ever have the opportunity, make sure it's a real state fair. Rinky-dink "block parties" and city fairs have nothing to do but be bothered by wage slaves trying to sell you hot-tubes and life insurance.

I've never even been to the states, how do I tell a "real" state fair from a fake one? What do people even do at state fairs? Is it just deep fried food, rides and games and shit?

Does the alcohol cook off?

What is an example of a fake state fair? Been to state fairs all over the country and I have no idea what you're referring to.

State fairs are generally, like the name implies, for the entire state. There's only one and it's the largest of the year. They usually have everything you said plus live music, contests (horse/bull riding, food eating, talent, battle of the bands, etc), and local crafts/art sales areas.

Generally it's scale and what "activities" are available. City-wide fairs are almost always shit, County fairs can be good, State Fairs are always the best. Check into what the planned events and "draws" are before taking the time and money to go to one.

I'm recommending foreigners make sure they're going to a state fair instead of some local city street fair or something like that.

On Long Island in the summer there are small fairs just about every weekend, somewhere. I guess not this year.

Yeah. There are concerts and stuff too. The one by me has lumberjack competitions and all kinds of shit. I love the state fair and was genuinely sad when it was cancelled

Minnesota and Iowa State Fairs are great, but those really aren't places for foreign tourists to visit. Nothing else to do, really. Love the food, alcohol, shows, and people watching. I always catch the sheep herding competition. There's competitions for things you'd never imagine, from prettiest home made dollhouse to largest hog. Let me tell you, that fucker can't even stand.
