The Big Fresno Fair and Fresno State are partnering to fight student food insecurity through a special “Fill the Need” Day on Thursday, October 9, 2025. On this day only, Fair admission is just $6, with $3 from each ticket directly benefiting the Amendola Family Student Cupboard – a Fresno State program that provides free food and hygiene items to students in need.
Every ticket makes a difference. Just $1 helps provide approximately four meals, so your visit to the Fair supports access to nourishment and resources that help Fresno Statue students stay focused on their education - not where their next meal will come from. Join us for a day of fun that helps feed our future.
Tickets are available now and can be purchased online or in person.

- Purchase in person at the Fair Box Office (Mon – Fri, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) located at 1121 S. Chance Avenue, Fresno, CA 93702
Please Note: Fill the Need Day tickets are only valid for use on October 9 and cannot be combined with any other promotion or discount.
