All Things Food at the Ohio State Fair

$3 Thursday

Don't miss $3 Thursday on July 29 and Aug. 5 ! Returning for a third 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 29 and Aug. 5.

Special Dietary Restrictions

The Ohio State Fair wants to ensure that all fairgoers can make the most of their experience, including finding foods that fit a variety of diets. Foods that fit special dietary needs are available in locations across the Fair. If you’re unsure if a specific item fits your dietary needs, be sure to ask the vendor about concerns such as cross-contamination.
