State Fair Of Texas Bag Policy 2019

Hey there, fair fans! You know what's just around the corner? That's right, the State Fair of Texas! And you know what's always on our minds when we're heading to a big event like that? What we can and can't bring with us. So, let's dive into the bag policy for the 2019 State Fair of Texas, and make sure we're all on the same page.

Why Should You Care?

Well, imagine this: You've been looking forward to the fair all year. You've got your list of must-try foods, you're ready to take on the Ferris wheel, and you've even got a new pair of cowboy boots to break in. But then, you get to the gate, and... bummer! You've got something in your bag that you shouldn't have. Now, you've got to leave it behind or go all the way back to your car. No one wants that, right?

That's why knowing the bag policy is like having a secret fair pass. It's your key to smooth sailing, from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, with all your stuff still in tow.

What's Allowed?

Alright, let's start with the good news. The fair wants you to be comfortable and have a great time, so they're cool with you bringing in:

  • Bags that are 16" x 16" x 6" or smaller. Think of it like this: if you can fit it in a small shopping bag, you're good to go.
  • Clear bags that are 12" x 6" x 12" or smaller. These are like the fair's VIP passes for bags. They make it easy for security to see what's inside, so you can breeze through the lines.
  • Small clutch purses, about the size of your hand. You know, the kind that's just big enough for your wallet, phone, and a couple of tickets.

And here's a little tip from me to you: If you're bringing a clear bag, you can even decorate it to show off your fair spirit. I've seen some real creative ones out there!

What's Not Allowed?

Now, let's talk about what you should leave at home. The fair has to keep things safe and fun for everyone, so they've got a few no-no's:

  • Bags that are bigger than 16" x 16" x 6". Sorry, but that oversized suitcase you were thinking of bringing isn't going to make the cut.
  • Coolers. I know, I know, you were planning on packing a picnic. But don't worry, there's plenty of delicious fair food to try once you're inside.
  • Glass containers. Safety first, folks! The fair wants to make sure everyone stays happy and healthy.
  • Alcohol. The fair has plenty of food and drinks to offer, so let's leave the booze at home this time.
  • Weapons. This one's a no-brainer. Let's keep the fair fun and friendly for everyone.

And remember, if you see something that you're not sure about, it's always better to leave it at home. The fair's security team is there to help, so don't hesitate to ask if you've got questions.

What If I Forget Something?

Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. If you realize you've got something you shouldn't have, there are lockers available to store your stuff. Just head to the Information Booths near the gates, and they'll point you in the right direction.

And if you realize you've forgotten something you should have, like sunscreen or a hat, there are plenty of shops around the fair where you can pick up what you need.
