STAND · MINNESOTA STATE FAIR
Irie Jamaican (Midtown Global Market)
Here Aug. 27 – Sept. 1 only. Rotating Midtown Global Market pop-up bringing Jamaican flavors to the fair. Slow-cooked jerk oxtail, coconut shrimp, and a refreshing ginger hibiscus drink straight from the island.
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.
