State Fair of Texas officials have announced the theme for this year’s fair will be “Celebrating Texas Innovation.” Making the announcement on Monday, February 19, 2018, the theme was identified with the intent of “…commemorating the significant Texans and Texas innovations that have helped influence our current way of life and looking forward to the state’s next era of pioneers.”
With this mission in mind, artwork that can be found in Fair Park this year will highlight innovations from Texas including agricultural advancements, space explorations, the integrated circuit, and the study of food exploration. “We aim to inspire future innovators by offering exhibits and activities that are both educational and entertaining,” said Mitchell Glieber, State Fair of Texas president.
