State fairs started in the 19th century to promote state agriculture by showing off livestock and farm products. After America became a more industrialized society states just continued state fairs, but added other things like carnival rides, games, and concerts. The first one was the New York state fair that started in 1849 has happened annually every year since them. It's just tradition at this point.
What do people do at these “State Fairs”?
