After a slow-ish start for the first day, the Minnesota State Fair set an attendance day record on Friday.

Fair officials say 164,741 people attended the fair on Friday. The previous record was set in 2019, when 157,224 people attended.

The figure is 11,000 more than the number who attended in 2022, which was 153,367, and more than double the attendees in 2021.
