Minnesota State Fair
The Minnesota State Fair is an end-of-summer tradition, offering fairgoers unique opportunities to meet with local dairy farmers and learn more about how dairy farmers are dedicated to providing excellent care for their cows, communities, and planet. Attendees flock to the Dairy Goodness Bar to enjoy delicious treats, including the newest Flavor of the Fair. While they wait, fairgoers watch as Princess Kay and nine candidates sit in a refrigerated, rotating cooler while having their likeness carved into butter.
Outside the Dairy Building, fairgoers enjoy thrilling rides, educational exhibits, and the newest food on a stick. They also line up at (and return to) the All You Can Drink Milk Stand to enjoy fresh, ice-cold milk – perfect for a hot summer day!
The Dairy Goodness Bar is a must-stop for fairgoers who crave ice-cold malts, sundaes, ice cream, milk, and more. The ice cream and malts are made with Minnesota dairy farmer’s top-secret recipe, available ONLY at the Minnesota State Fair!
Flavor of the Fair
Each year, a new Flavor of the Fair is voted on and introduced for fairgoers to enjoy. In 2025, the Flavor of the Fair is Cookie Butter Cheesecake, featuring a vanilla malt or sundae covered in decadent cheesecake pieces, topped with Cookie Butter sauce and a cookie.
Previous Flavors of the Fair include Rock-Star Berry (2024) and Cheers for Cherries (2023).
