State fairs are an end-of-summer tradition and delight the young and old alike – with games, rides, entertainment, and food booths! 
However, because of the warm weather, cooking outdoors, and part-time vendors – there is an increased chance of a food illness. So, while having fun – it is important to make some basic food safety observations!
Check out our 2019 State Fair Directory – with operating dates – and find your local fair.

To prepare and sell food at fairs and festivals, typically a food vendor need a vendor’s license or food handler’s permit – and there should to be a person-in-charge – food manager certified.
