Big Tex

Big Tex is stepping up his style for 2026—and you could design his new boots!

The State Fair of Texas and Lucchese Bootmaker are giving fans a chance to design Big Tex’s famous size 96 boots. Deadline is January 31, 2026.

The iconic Log Ride at the State Fair of Texas is retiring after 40 years! Take your final splash before it closes on October 19, 2025.

During the months of September and October, you can still get to enjoy at least one part of state fair tradition.
