Must-Try Foods at the Indiana State Fair

Must-Try Foods at the Indiana State Fair

Each year, the team at the Indiana State Fair is dedicated to bringing you the most delicious foods found state-wide. Don’t eat too much at breakfast time! Visitors who leave the comfort of their Indiana State Fair hotels at mealtime will be rewarded with an array of delicious treats. Here are some foods not to miss:

  • 1. Funnel cake

    No state fair is complete without a funnel cake stand. A sweet and crispy free-form doughnut, covered in powdered sugar or vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries, makes this an absolute must-have.

  • 2. Chili mac corn dog

    A turkey dog stuffed with jalapenos, chili, and mac and cheese is yours to be enjoyed at the Indiana State Fair.

  • 3. Smoked brisket

    You won’t regret sampling the delicious, slow-cooked beef, usually served in a soft bun.

  • 4. Fried chicken and waffles

    Succulent pieces of fried chicken are doused in maple syrup and powdered sugar, and wrapped in a hot waffle. Delicious!

  • 5. Hatch green chili beef meatballs:

    The Indiana Beef Cattle Association will be serving these tasty treats on the South Side of the fair.

Top Tips to Know Before You Go to the Indiana State Fair

Top Tips to Know Before You Go to the Indiana State Fair

Running for 17 days throughout August, the Indiana State Fair showcases agriculture and entertainment alike and is perennially popular with both locals and out-of-towners. Therfore, visitors booking Indiana State Fair hotels should be sure to do so early, so as not to miss out. Here are a few more tips:

  • 1. Parking

    While the fair is open daily between 9am and 9pm, the parking lots open at 8am. There is a small fee for parking, and those leaving their vehicles in the furthest lot (46th Street) can take advantage of the free shuttle service that operates every 20 minutes between 10am and 11pm. There is accessible parking inside Gate 6 and Gate 1.

  • 2. Smoking

    Smoking is not permitted in the main fair, but designated areas will be stationed around the fairgounds for smokers.

  • 3. Curfew hours

    Unaccompanied teens aged 15, 16, or 17 must not be outside anywhere in Marion County between 1am and 5am weekends, before 5am Mondays through Fridays, and after 11pm Sundays through Thursdays. It is unlawful for any child younger than 15 to be unaccompanied by an adult between 11pm and 5am any day of the week. For more information, contact security at (317) 927-7520.

  • 4. Breastfeeding mothers

    There are two designated lactation stations for breastfeeding mothers: one at the Public Safety Center, and the other at Hook’s Historic Drug Store.
