The South Texas State Fair is an annual regional state fair held in Beaumont, Texas. The fair features a livestock show, a commercial exhibition, and a carnival Midway. Food concessions are a major attraction of the fair. Reflecting Beaumont's location in Southeast Texas, normal carnival foods can be found alongside barbecue, Tex-Mex, and Cajun foods (often including fried alligator).
As of 2009[update], the South Texas State Fair had an attendance of over 500,000 people, second in the state to the State Fair of Texas in Dallas.[2] The fair is held annually in late March to early April.
Fair patrollers include security guards, the Beaumont, TX Police and Jefferson County, TX Sheriff.
