STAND · MINNESOTA STATE FAIR

Goertzes Dairy Kone

Goertze's Dairy Kone describes itself as a traveling, family-run ice cream concession that has frequented state fairs and events from Minnesota to the East Coast since 1967. That 1967 date is when the concession says it began operating, and it works fairgrounds across the country rather than keeping a storefront.

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.
