INDIANAPOLIS  — The Indiana State Fair has announced the theme for this year’s event: basketball.

The fair will pay homage to Indiana’s basketball history with interactive experiences, a basketball amusement park, player meet and greets, and daily storytelling about the state’s basketball legacy.

The fair will be presented by Pacers Sports and Entertainment.

“For our theme of ‘We Grow Basketball here’ to be associated with our great Indiana State Fair could not be more perfect,” said Pacers Sports and Entertainment COO Rick Fuson in a statement. “As the original home of the Indiana Pacers during the time when they won three American Basketball Association championships, the Coliseum and the Fairgrounds are forever linked to our heritage.”

The 2020 Indiana State Fair will be Aug. 7-23. Visit indianastatefair.com for more information.
