Why this week is different
Twenty-four days at Fair Park including the Red River Showdown football weekend.
Venue. Fair Park.
Booking advice. The Red River Showdown Saturday is the peak and Fair Park parking is effectively unavailable. Drop and on-call return is the arrangement that works.
What we provide during State Fair of Texas
- Airport meets on the peak arrival and departure days, with a greeter desk for larger programmes
- Executive sedans and SUVs for individual and small-group movement
- Sprinters that keep a delegation together between the venue, the hotel and the customer dinner
- Published-interval shuttle loops between hotel blocks and the venue, reinforced at the two peaks
- Hospitality staging for suites, offsites and after-parties with a curfew that is actually held
- Setup and teardown runs outside normal service hours for exhibitor crews
- Consolidated billing per programme, per exhibitor or per department
Getting around Dallas that week
Dallas–Fort Worth is a metroplex rather than a city, and the two airports serve it differently: Love Field is ten minutes from downtown and Uptown, DFW is a ring road the size of Manhattan serving everything else. Corporate relocations have put headquarters campuses across Plano, Frisco, Irving and Las Colinas, and a day of meetings routinely covers forty miles.
Local note. A meeting in Plano or Frisco and a flight from Love Field is an hour apart in traffic. The desk will tell you which airport your day actually points at.
If the city is sold out, the nearest alternatives are within driving range: Austin (about 3 hours), Houston (about 4 hours), Oklahoma City (about 3 hours). We run those legs as fixed-fare city-to-city transfers.

Questions
State Fair of Texas: frequently asked
When is State Fair of Texas held?
Usually in late September to October, at Fair Park. Exact dates move year to year and are set by the organiser, so the desk confirms the published dates before quoting.
How far ahead should I book transportation for State Fair of Texas?
The Red River Showdown Saturday is the peak and Fair Park parking is effectively unavailable. Drop and on-call return is the arrangement that works.
What vehicles are available during State Fair of Texas?
Executive sedans and SUVs for individual travel, executive Sprinters for delegations of up to fourteen, and mini buses and motorcoaches for shuttle blocks. Availability in this week is genuinely finite, so the class you get is the class you booked early.
Do you run shuttles during State Fair of Texas?
Yes — published-interval hotel-to-venue loops sized to your headcount, with vehicles added at the opening and closing peaks rather than run at full strength all day.
