Time is running out to lock in one of the best deals of the summer at the Nebraska State Fair. Valued at $42 during the Fair, carnival wristbands are only $25 through Saturday, July 5 at 11:59 p.m.

A favorite among fairgoers, each wristband offers unlimited rides for one person on any one day of the 2025 Nebraska State Fair -- including weekends -- and also allows access to the Sky Tram and its scenic view high above the Marketplace.

The $25 wristband early bird special is perfect for families looking to save while still enjoying the thrill of the midway.

“Whether you’ve got teens who love the adrenaline or little ones who want to ride again and again, this deal lets families plan ahead and make the most of their time at the Fair,” said Jaime Parr, Executive Director of the Nebraska State Fair. "It is one of the best ways to Showcase Your Fair Face!"
