Mega and Jumbo Passes available for 2022 Illinois State Fair

The countdown to the 2022 Illinois State Fair on Aug. 11-21 is formally underway with the start of the traditional holiday promotional campaign starring the Mega and Jumbo Passes.

The Mega Pass gives you unlimited rides in the Midway and Adventure Village, while the Jumbo Pass has the bonus of unlimited trips down the Giant Slide. The Illinois State Fair will be offering a holiday special on both passes through Dec. 31. During this time the 2022 Mega Pass is just $60, while the Jumbo Pass will be offered at $70.

Making a return for the 2022 Illinois State Fair is North American Midway Entertainment. The carnival first debuted on the fairgrounds nearly three decades ago and will bring back some fan favorites as well as some new attractions. Rides fairgoers can expect to see include favorites: Pharaohs Fury, Freak Out, Rock Star, Wacky Mouse Coaster and new for 2022, Arctic Express.

“We are excited to continue the tradition of making our Mega and Jumbo Passes available for the holidays as it’s never too early to be thinking about the Illinois State Fair,” said Illinois Department of Agriculture Director, Jerry Costello II.

Mega and Jumbo Passes will be available for purchase throughout the Fair. However, the price will increase to $70 for the Mega Pass and $80 for the Jumbo Pass on Jan. 1 and increase to $80 and $100 beginning Aug. 1.
