Sign Up Here!
Opening Day for the 2026 Indiana State Fair is less than three weeks away - Friday, August 7th, and we still have open positions on the first weekend and throughout the Fair.

What to Expect
If you've worked at the State Fair in recent years, you already know about the fun and fellowship Indiana Lions share there. If you've never worked the Fair—or if it's been several years—you've been missing out. I encourage you to sign up and join us at the 2026 Indiana State Fair.

Most positions are seated and in the shade. A few are in air-conditioned ticket booths, most do not require you to handle money. You will meet some great Indiana Lions working for the Foundation at the State Fair - everyone from brand new Lions to members with decades of service, from ordinary everyday Lions to Past International Directors and everything in between. But, at the State Fair, we're all just Lions, having a great time and working to raise funds for our Indiana Lions Foundation.

We offer an early morning shift, a morning shift, and an afternoon shift. Work a morning shift and enjoy the Fair afterward, or come early, enjoy the Fair, then work an afternoon shift. All Indiana Lions Foundation volunteers get *FREE* parking and *FREE* admission.

There are many food vendors at the Indiana State Fair, but if you want to bring your own lunch, there is a small refrigerator and a microwave at each of our gates.

Foundation Incentives for Group Participation
If you can recruit at least 5 (including you) of your club members, family members, friends, neighbors, or anyone willing to volunteer to come with you and work at least one shift at the State Fair, the Indiana Lions Foundation will help pay for your gas. If you can organize a group of 10 or more (including you), the Foundation will help pay for your van rental. Save your receipts and turn them in to me.

How to Get from Point A to Point B
Ah, you say, but I've never been to the Indiana State Fair and I don't know how to get there. No problem! These directions should get you to our check-in booth at the Indiana State Fair.

1. If you are using a maps app, use "46th Street and Evanston Avenue, Indianapolis" as your destination. Evanston is 3/10 of a mile west of Keystone Avenue, a major N-S street. Note: If you specify "Indiana State Fair" as your destination, it will take you to the wrong gate.
2. Turn left and go south on Evanston Avenue to 42nd Street.
3. Turn right and go west on 42nd Street, one block to Indiana State Fair Gate 4 (the gate formerly known as 10).
4. Turn left into Gate 4.
5. The parking lot is on the right side of the drive after you come through the gate, adjacent to a large white utility building. The entrance is at the south end of the lot. If you get directed to the infield parking, call me and I will send someone with a golf cart to pick you up.
6. Park as close to the large white utility building as you can and come around the south end of the building. Our check-in booth is on the west side of the utility building. It is the first of several small sheds and it will have an Indiana Lions Foundation sign on it.
7. Check in with me or another Foundation volunteer at the booth. A Lions volunteer will take you to your gate on a golf cart.

See the maps on the attached document for additional information.

The top map shows the layout of the Indiana State Fair. Our gates are highlighted in yellow, as are Gate 4, the parking area, and our check-in booth.

The bottom map shows how to get into the fairgrounds via the route described above, starting at step 6 (the corner of 46th Street and Evanston Avenue).

State Fair Dress Code
The State Fair has a dress code for our volunteers.
Tan or black slacks, shorts, or skirt
Lions shirt, State Fair shirt, or plain white shirt
No open-toed shoes
Whether you can work one shift or several, your help makes a real difference to the Indiana Lions Foundation.
I look forward to seeing you at the great Indiana State Fair
