The Minnesota State Fair was cancelled for 2020, but you can still find state fair food throughout the Twin Cities and beyond, all summer long!
I posted about one local vendor on my Facebook page in late May and that’s how I discovered this.
Food vendors have been announcing their locations and hours more and more and I’m adding them to this list as I hear of them!
Plus be sure to check out the Minnesota State Fair Food Finder Facebook group! They also have an awesome food finder map!
Check in advance before you go! This is just my own curated list and I don’t list hours as they change so often. All of these listings are subject to change at any time!
