Sweet Minnesota corn roasted over an open grill and slathered in real butter. Simple, perfect, and one of the most iconic fair foods. Located at the SE corner of Dan Patch Ave.

The 2026 Minnesota State Fair ended on Monday, September 7, 2026. Everything below describes the 2026 fair, which is the most recent one I hold — stands, buildings and rides carry over year to year, but dates, prices and schedules do not. I update it when the fair publishes for 2027. The 2027 fair runs August 26 – September 6, 2027 — 293 days away.
