Admittance to the fair is free with Museum Admission.

Happy to say we’ve made every fair -- the only one of it’s kind in the southwest.
It’s always a lovely event so even if it’s a trip, keep in mind that entire museum
is terrific and that the weather is beautiful there this time of year.

Our thanks to everyone at the McNay who has made this fair such a
pleasure all these years!
