Minnesota State Fair

The Minnesota State Fair is hands-down my favorite time of year. The 12 grease-filled days leading up to Labor Day are complete with people watching, entertainment and of course, food to fill you up for a year.

2017 marks my 28th consecutive year attending the Great Minnesota Get Together, as I’m currently slated to head out there for at least nine of the 12 days. It doesn’t get old.

I have racked up plenty of tips and am happy to share my advice for navigating the State Fair. Keep checking back for additional content, including a preview of the new food and drink being served up this year.
