'Barn in the USA.' Five fun T-shirts you can get at the Indiana State Fair in 2025
Indiana State Fair attendees can tout their favorite musical tastes in their clothing this year. The theme of the 2025 fair, "Soundtrack of Summer," allows for some pretty fun merch spoofs of famous albums. Here are some of the T-shirts available for purchase at the 2025 Indiana State Fair. Take a look at this udderly fantastic KOWS shirt for those who want to rock and rollercoaster all night, at least until the midway closes. Pyrotechnics not included. This shirt is the boss. Written we assume by Bruce Swinesteen "Barn in the USA" allows you to put your best, uh, foot forward in celebrating Americana. 'Oh! Darling,' we're not sure if 'She Came in Through the Bathroom Window,' but we finally know why the chicken crossed Abbey Farm Road — the Indiana State Fair was on the other side. Story continues after photo gallery. Flour power — this shirt's got it. What could be better than 15 days of Peace, Music & Corndogs? Well, 16 days, obviously, but the Indiana State Fair ends after Aug. 17. This dye-namite Rock 'n' Roll cow T-shirt adds a splash of color to your wardrobe. And for what it's worth, the cow looks like an amazing moooo-sician, even though we're pretty sure all its songs are written in Beef-flat. The Indiana State Fair Gift Shop can be found on the fairgrounds under the Hoosier Lottery Grandstand and in the Agriculture/Horticulture Building, as well as the United State of Indiana store, 1051 E. 54th St., Suite B, Indianapolis, and online at
