Exclusive“State Fair” (1945): Love, Music, and a Summer to Remember

State Fair (1945) is a colorful Rodgers and Hammerstein musical celebrating family, romance, and the excitement of an American tradition.

The Frake family leaves their Iowa farm for a much-anticipated trip to the state fair, each carrying hopes of their own. While the parents dream of winning prizes in the fair’s competitions, their children, Margy and Wayne, unexpectedly find romance amid the crowds, music, dancing, and excitement.

Featuring memorable Rodgers and Hammerstein songs including “It Might as Well Be Spring,” the film captures both the joy of the fair and the bittersweet feeling of young love that may last only a few unforgettable days.

Warm, romantic, and filled with Golden Age musical charm, State Fair reminds us how a simple family outing can become a memory—and sometimes a love story—that lasts a lifetime.
