State Fair of Texas — Roadside Assistance Near Fair Park
The State Fair of Texas welcomes over 2.5 million visitors to Fair Park in Dallas each fall. With massive parking lots, heavy traffic on I-30 and I-35, and Texas heat affecting vehicles, breakdowns happen. Our network of verified towing and roadside assistance providers serves the Dallas area and is ready to help fairgoers 24/7.
Parking and Traffic at the State Fair
Fair Park offers extensive on-site parking, but the lots fill up quickly on weekends. Traffic on I-30, I-35E, and US-75 gets extremely congested, especially during the evening when attendees head home. The fair runs for 24 days, so traffic patterns are well-established by local providers. Keep your keys with you at all times — lockouts are common when families load up kids and belongings and accidentally leave keys inside.
Common Roadside Issues During the Fair
The most common problems during the State Fair of Texas are dead batteries from vehicles parked all day in the Texas sun, flat tires from debris in parking lots, and lockouts.

Whether you need a jump start, tire change, or tow, help is just a service request away.
