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.

2018 marks my 29th consecutive year attending the Great Minnesota Get Together. 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.
