STAND · MINNESOTA STATE FAIR

Midway Mens Club

The Midway Mens Club is a volunteer charity club that has been a cornerstone of its community since the 1960s, and it runs a Minnesota State Fair food stand to fund youth programs. The club says it contributes tens of thousands of dollars annually to Ramsey County youth initiatives including St. Paul Parks & Recreation, the Midway YMCA, local Scouting troops, school robotics teams and school supply drives. Members commit to a single eight-hour shift at the stand each year; the club's own pitch is "Stop by for Great Food at a Great Price!"

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.
