how many people attended the great american state fair

I couldn’t verify a single attendance figure for the “Great American State Fair” from the available results, because that name appears to be used in different contexts rather than as one clearly identified event.

What I could confirm is that Missouri State Fair coverage called it a “Great American Fair” and reported 345,643 attendees in 2024, while another report said 2023 was just under 350,000. If you meant a different fair, the exact attendance may be different.

What the results show

• Missouri State Fair 2024: 345,643 attendees.

• Missouri State Fair 2023: just under 350,000 attendees.

• Related “Great American State Fair” mention: a 2026 article used that phrase in connection with Trump’s event claim, but it did not provide an independently confirmed attendance count.

Plain-English read

The safest answer is that there is no confirmed standalone attendance number I can verify for “the Great American State Fair” from the results I found. If you meant the Missouri State Fair, the best available number here is 345,643 for 2024.
