2026 James H. Drew Exposition Midway at the North Georgia State Fair
NGSF & Drew Exposition
For more than 50 years, the North Georgia State Fair has proudly partnered with the James H. Drew Exposition to bring the magic of the midway to life. Thanks to their unmatched expertise and showstopping rides, this year’s lineup is one of our most thrilling yet — featuring over 40 rides for all ages and adventure levels.
We’re especially proud to be the only fair in the country with a permanent Mega Slide, Cable Lift, and Roller Coaster right on our grounds. From heart-racing thrill rides to family classics and kiddie favorites, there’s something for everyone.
Check out the ride list below for ticket options and height requirements. We can’t wait to see you on the midway!
