All Things Food at the Ohio State Fair

$3 Thursday

Don't miss $3 Thursday on July 30 and Aug. 6! Returning for a second year, both Thursdays of the Fair, all vendors will be offering a menu item of their choice at a smaller size for just $3! This new initiative is the perfect way to try some beloved “Fair fare” signature food options without breaking the bank! This event occurs on both Thursdays of the Ohio State Fair, July 30 and August 6.

The $3 Thursday list will be available soon.
