STAND · MINNESOTA STATE FAIR

Holy Land

Holy Land is a Minneapolis-based Arabic, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean deli, bakery, grocery and restaurant, serving gyros, falafel, hummus and Persian kebabs prepared Halal/Zabihah in a wood-fire rotisserie. Their breads are baked from scratch using the same ingredients and method used for over 100 years across three generations, and owner Majdi Wadi cooked with Guy Fieri on season 25 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

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.
