St Ann's Fair is back! This year marks 76 years of this amazing event. Everyone in the Permian Basin knows about this fun event and looks forward to it every year. This year it lands on September 28th at 1906 W Texas Ave in Midland.  St Ann's has something every part of your family will enjoy and has plenty of good food.

Did you know that St Ann's Fair started in 1949? It was started by the Knights of Columbus, Mother’s Club, Altar Society, Frank Repman & Nick Dragisic. By 1958 the fair had drastically grown. They had 27 booths and pony rides. In the same year, they were able to raffle off a car that had a value of $3,400.

With the fair getting bigger every year the staff must increase as well. Volunteers run Saint Ann's fair 100%. This helps with all the proceeds going to Saint Ann's Church which supports Catholic Education at St Ann's School. If you would like to volunteer call the church office at 432-682-6303.

The fair has so many activities to participate in. They have a family fun park open from 10 am to 10 pm. There will also be over 65 food and game booths to choose from. You can also join in on smoke-free bingo or get your face painted. Plus there will be plenty of kid-friendly games to keep the littles busy.

What else is St Ann's Fair known for? Their huge raffles and this year is no different! 25 great prizes are up for grabs this year and some of these prizes are a $1000 Southwest Airlines Gift card, a $500 Midland Athletic Company gift card, an iRobot Roomba vacuum, a Cathy Esthman Diamond Necklace, and a 2024 MERCEDES GLC! You can get 1 ticket for $20 or 6 for $100. You can get tickets from the parish office or the day of the fair on Sept. 28th.

If you thought it couldn't be any more fun then you were wrong. There will be a FREE concert! KEVIN FOWLER will perform from 8 pm to 10 pm on the same night of Sept 28th. Make sure you tell your family and friends about this amazing concert event!

From food to raffles, and a free concert, St Ann's Fair has you covered for a good time. To top it off it all goes to a good cause! Make sure you save the date for September 28th, see you at St Ann's Fair!
