From Northern Virginia and the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC

Take the most direct route to reach the Baltimore Beltway - I-695. Take the Beltway west around Baltimore.

At Exit 24, exit I-695 and head north on I-83 towards York, PA.

You can take either the first exit - Timonium Rd - or the second exit - Padonia Rd.

Timonium Road:

Head east through 1 traffic light (Deerco Rd) and cross the highway-rail grade crossing for Baltimore's Light Rail line.

Immediately after the grade crossing, get in the center turn lane and turn left into the State Fair Grounds. (This left turn can be difficult if traffic is heavy on Timonium Rd.)

Padonia Road:

Head east through 3 traffic lights (the first light is at Deerco Rd.). Turn right at the third light (York Rd.)

Follow York Road up the hill, the Maryland State Fairgrounds will be on your right.

You can also park in the Park and Ride lot off Deerco Road. Cross through the Light Rail station. You will enter the State Fairgrounds behind the Cow Palace (where 3 of the 4 shows are each year.)
