Whether you’ve got a sweet tooth or a savory hankering, you’ll want to save your appetite — the Washington State Fair is starting up Labor Day weekend.
Per usual, it’ll be a smorgasbord of fried foods, decadent drinks, and assorted snacks on sticks.
Whether it’s meat on a stick or fried deliciousness on a plate, we’ve listed some of the fairest fare of them all.
- Fisher scones | Multiple locations | Feast on this longtime fave featuring local raspberry jam.
- Elephant ears | Fair Food Court | The giant Duris treat coated in buttery, sugary goodness could feed a small army — add Dole Whip for an extra pop of flavor.
- Dan Dan Noodles | Arena Avenue | It’s Bao Box’s first time participating in the fair, so show up and show out for its $5 dish.
- Raspados del Sur | Blue Gate Plaza | Picture this: a mangonada and a fruit bowl transformed into a giant, decadent drink topped with Tajin.
- Kaleenka Piroshky | Grand Avenue | The grab-and-go Ukrainian piroshky takes a fresh spin on typical fair food with seasoned meats and its staple lemon-parsley-dill sauce.
If you have any dietary needs or restrictions, check out the fair’s Sensitive Selections for gluten-free, dairy-free, peanut-free, and veggie-based options.
The fair runs Friday, Aug. 30 until Sunday, Sept. 22, so you’ll have plenty of time to explore rides, vendors, and concerts.
Just... maybe walk off those snacks before taking a trip to ThrillVille — we’re unfortunately speaking from experience.
