Don’t hold your horses — there’s only one week left to save up to 50% on tickets for the South Carolina State Fair, happening Wednesday, Oct. 8 through Sunday, Oct. 19.

From new gravity-defying rides (read: The Downdraft) and live entertainment to mouthwatering food, farm exhibits, livestock competitions, and more, it’s the perfect way to kick off fall in the Palmetto State.

Pro tip: Purchase discount tickets online or at Circle K stores.
