> CAN I OPERATE MY DRONE over the fairgrounds? No, you cannot. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all visitors, the Minnesota State Fair prohibits unauthorized operation or use of any unmanned aerial vehicle on or above the Minnesota State Fairgrounds year-round. This includes all UAVs, commonly known as “drones,” regardless of commercial or recreational purpose. Any UAV(s) observed at or near the Minnesota State Fairgrounds will be reported to local law enforcement and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
> NO BURNOUTS OR FLAME-THROWING: Don’t even think about it. MSRA not only does not sanction burnouts and flame-throwing, but it will cost you your window sticker for the weekend and your entry for 2026. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
