Maryland State Fair Tickets Promo Code

There are certain places that generally seem to be deceptive in their appearance. They will typically give a laid-back look but will come alive once every now and then. Lutherville-Timonium is just one such area, which located in the Baltimore County in the state of Maryland, plays host to the annual Maryland State Fair. The venue for the State Fair is Timonium Park that is adjacent to York Road and is bordered by Land Street and West Timonium Road. Every year, an assorted mix of attractions await the State Fair visitors, such as agricultural exhibits, popular carnival rides, “Thoroughbred Horse Racing” and musical performances by local and internationally acclaimed acts.
The “Census-Designated Place” of Lutherville-Timonium is composed of “unincorporated communities” housing some 16,000 odd denizens of Lutherville and Timonium. The Maryland Transit Administration serves the area with its Light Rail Line, which is part of the Northern Central railway, and bore the wheels of President Abraham Lincoln’s Railcar en route to Gettysburg, where the occupant delivered his famous speech. The Maryland State Fair was held for the first time in 1878 and was organized under the name of Lutherville Fair. The Fair came to its current location of Timonium Park in its second year and morphed into the Maryland State Fair in 1906 after merging with the Pimlico Fair.
The Maryland State Fair’s grounds in Timonium park span some 100 acres, having grown from the original 37, and are managed by the Agricultural Society of Baltimore County. The only time that the venue has not diligently done its annual duty is from 1943 to 1945 during World War II. The Fairgrounds also house the Timonium Racetrack for thoroughbred horses and has seen some major action. Though paid and free parking, also provisioning for handicapped access, is available on the Maryland State Fair’s grounds, Fairgoers can also avail the Timonium Light Rail as well as the No. 9 bus, which have their stops at short walking distances.
The Maryland State Fair has proven to be a hub of musical entertainment over the years, featuring Rockstars INXS and pop teen sensation Justin Bieber. Upcoming ones this year feature the svelte ‘Selena Gomez & The Scene’ along with Blake Shelton .
Popularly referred to as “The 11 Best Days of Summer”, the Maryland State Fair has been transformed over the years into a people-friendly festival. To accommodate even the most budget conscious ones amongst us, the organizers have introduced special schemes and packages. For instance the Ridemania Preview Night gives an unlimited rides pass for $16 on the eve of the State Fair, whereas the same access is granted during the regular State Fair days courtesy “Ride Wristbands” and the “Food Lion Ride Special”, something reminiscent of a “ride-all-you-can” land a la Enid Blyton’s “Faraway Tree Series”. Farm animals are given star billing in attractions such as the Swifty Swine Racing and the Swimming Pig Show as well as in live “Birthing Centers” and “Milk It Yourself” stalls. So book your Maryland State FairTickets now to have a rocking, rollicking time with your family and other animals.
