The Maryland State Fair will return for three weekends this summer with rides, games, food, animals and plenty of activities. The 142nd annual fair will be held from Aug. 24 through Sept. 10. The hours of operation are 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursdays and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. the other days. “It’s been a family tradition,” Andy Cashman, general manager of the Maryland State Fair said. “I always say its the best family tradition in Maryland that folks can come to and enjoy themselves and a lot of kids come back to and they grow up here.”
