Indianapolis, Indiana – The subject of the Indiana State Fair in 2023 is basketball.
The tale of Indiana’s history with the game will be told by the fair’s organizers in collaboration with Pacers Sports & Entertainment.
“The Indiana State Fair is an annual celebration of agriculture, entertainment, and what it means to be a Hoosier,” Gov. Eric Holcomb said at a Monday morning press conference. “Perhaps the only other Hoosier tradition that brings together as many fans, as much nostalgia, and that sense of hometown pride is the love of basketball that’s swept our state for more than a century, which makes it the perfect theme for this year’s fair.”
The 18 days of the fair, according to the organizers, will highlight 18 of the best basketball-related stories from the state. Visitors to the fair may also anticipate meeting the players.
All-Star Court, a theme park with a basketball theme, will be built.
The Indiana Pacers called the fairgrounds their home when playing in the ABA.
July 28 to August 20 are the dates for the 2023 Indiana State Fair.
