The State Fair has strengthened security measures in recent years, and that includes a clear bag policy. Yeah, it's kind of like what you see at football stadiums and concert venues, but don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds. You can still bring your favorite reusable tote bag, as long as it's see-through, of course!
So, what can you bring in a clear bag? Pretty much anything you'd normally carry, like your phone, wallet, and snacks (because, priorities!). Just remember, no opaque bags or backpacks allowed, or you'll beLike me, trying to persuade the nice security guards to let me in with my giant stuffed animal. Spoiler alert: it didn't work.
