The Minnesota State Fair Foundation invites you to Taste of the Fair, a fun-filled fundraiser held one week prior to the start of the fair.
As the Foundation’s largest fundraising event, Taste of the Fair is an integral part of the Foundation’s ability to support the State Fair’s capital improvements and programming. Funds are raised through event ticket sales and sponsorships as well as silent and live auction proceeds.
