The Minnesota State Fair features a variety of food offerings and promotional deals. The 2026 Blue Ribbon Bargain Book provides over 100 coupons for rides, games, and various food items, including discounts on mini donuts, hand pies, and garlic fries. A Yelp analysis of customer reviews ranked the Minnesota State Fair at the top of national fair-food rankings, highlighting its creative vendors and iconic treats like cheese curds and Sweet Martha’s Cookies. Beyond traditional deep-fried options, the fair hosts nearly 300 vendors offering diverse savory and sweet items, such as hummus bowls, wood-fired pizzas, and locally sourced roasted corn. Additionally, several restaurant chains, including Sonic Drive-In, Hot Dog on a Stick, A&W Restaurants, and Culver’s, offer various nostalgic fair-style foods such as sweet corn batter corn dogs, cheese curds, and root beer floats. As a long-standing tradition held in Falcon Heights, the fair serves as a major economic driver for food vendors. Despite the event lasting only 12 days, top-grossing vendors generate significant revenue through the sale of popular items like cookies and cheese curds. Attendance has also seen growth, with approximately 15,000 more visitors attending last year compared to the previous year. Dating back to 1859, the fair continues to showcase Minnesota's agriculture, art, and industry.
