The night may come but the sunny celebration never ends during the Arizona State Fair held in the desert city of Phoenix, Arizona. This is the de facto fair for the state of Arizona. It was an instant hit since it started in 1884.

The Arizona Exposition and State Fair, as it is officially called, is an independent state event, which means it does not received any financial assistance from the state government. The fair ? which lasts for more than a week and draws hundreds of thousands of people ? is held at the fairgrounds in Phoenix. This is also where other events are held, such as the Arizona National Livestock Show and Maricopa County Fair.

The fair?s attractions include the typical agricultural and livestock exhibits. Other activities and events include carnival rides, food booths, sales booths, trade fairs, cultural shows, and concerts.
