It happens every year!
The Great Minnesota Get Together also known as the Minnesota State Fair.
Getting to the fair, is always a challenge. The parking is horrendous. So a good way of attend the Minnesota State Fair, is go to one of the many park-and-ride locations.
So then, where are the Minnesota State Fair park ride locations?
The Minnesota State Fair did a very good job of getting locations all over the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. You can find stop and ride or park and ride locations at most of the major malls like Rosedale, Ridgedale, Southdale, Northtown etc. You can also find Park and Ride locations along the side of many major intersections like 394, 35W, 694 and 494.
There is a direct link to the Minnesota State Fair website with free parknride locations.

The next question is where do you get free admission tickets. Well, that is a secret.
