Many people who attend the Minnesota State Fair make a point of trying new foods or enjoying longtime favorites. For fair visitors with disabilities, being able to enjoy fair dining can take a little planning.

Access Press works with Minnesota State Fair staff each year to prepare an accessible dining guide. The guide is updated each year to reflect new vendors and changes to existing places. These food and beverage concessions offer:

• Eating areas accessible by curb cuts
• Hard and sturdy floor surfaces
• Tables a guest can pull up to in a wheelchair or scooter, or where a chair can be moved to make room for a wheelchair or scooter
