MINNEAPOLIS — For more than two decades, people attending the Minnesota State Fair have been able to take advantage of free or low-cost screenings and health education thanks to Health Fair 11 at the Fair. Health Fair 11 has been staging the non-traditional health fair at the State Fair since 2001. More than 1.45 million health connections have been documented during its 23 years of operation.
Join our lineup of exhibitors!
Planning has started for the 2024 fair which takes place August 22-September 2. Health Fair 11 is looking for a few new exhibitors to join our group. The “Health Fair 11 building” encompasses 8,400 square feet of indoor exhibit space in the heart of the fairgrounds. More than 250,000 people connect with exhibitors in the building each year.
An evaluation of Health Fair 11 at the Fair by the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business concluded:
“The health education and free or low-cost health screenings offered at the State Fair are highly appealing to fairgoers. The nontraditional delivery experience, which is repeatedly called ‘fun’ by the people being screened, is revolutionary compared to the traditional healthcare model."
