The fifth annual Kickoff to Summer at the Fair will be held May 22-25, 2025! This slice-of-the-fair event features more food and fun things to do than ever before – but with the laid-back patio vibe we all love about Minnesota summers. Favorite fair food and brews at nearly 40 vendors, music and entertainment free with admission, shopping at 20+ specialty Minnesota merchants, Giant Slide rides, yard games, history tours, free parking, and so much more! Plus, the ever-popular Milk Run 5K Race will take place Saturday, May 24 at 9 a.m.
To make this an extra-special experience, attendance is limited per day.
Tickets and complete event details available on the Kickoff to the Summer at the State Fair website. Stay tuned! To be among the first to know, sign up for our e-newsletter.
