Five slots left for the rest of 2026. Q4 is where they always go.

Small and mid size businesses mean to get their end of year content done, then the calendar runs out. And once the holidays hit, we’re honestly not back until February.

So the window’s smaller than it looks. If you’ve been meaning to lock something in, now’s the moment.

And look, if “now” turns into “next month” and then somehow into “why is it already November,” don’t sweat it. Call us anyway. We’ve made magic on tighter timelines. We’ll always make something work. We’re here for you.

Nostalgia to familiar and everything in between Dodopop is a new vendor at the 2026 Minnesota State Fair.  With their storefront in Minnetonka, Dodopop is bringing six flavors to the fair.  If you are indecisive or simply want to try them all they even have the Zookeeper for you.

VENDOR 2 VENDOR: GIGGLE’S CAMPFIRE GRILL⛺️

For our next stop on Vendor 2 Vendor, we headed over to @gigglescampfiregrill

Stepping into the Northwoods we are immersed in the Giggle’s Campfire Experience.

From the front of house kitchen to the back of house lounge all while live music and a lumberjack show are within view.

Giggle’s Campfire Grill is a staple at the Minnesota State Fair serving up all of your favorites.

We tried the Walleye Fries, Timber Twists, and Millstream Lime in the Coconut 🍺

While you’re in the area catch some free entertainment on their stage.

That’s what we love about Vendor 2 Vendor.

From tradition to new ideas, good people, and getting to learn what makes each vendor unique.

This is Vendor 2 Vendor.

VENDOR 2 VENDOR: BAYOU BOB’S 🐊

For our next stop on Vendor 2 Vendor, we headed over to @bayoubobsgatorshack

A tradition at the Minnesota State Fair for many - Deep Fried Alligator.

Bayou Bob’s is 29 years old this season with a party and new food planned for their 30th anniversary in 2027.

We tried the deep fried alligator and hush puppies dipped in our hot sauce for a little kick.

And of course, we had to ask. Is there a Bob?

That’s what we love about Vendor 2 Vendor.

Good food, good people, and getting to learn what makes each vendor unique.

This is Vendor 2 Vendor.

VENDOR 2 VENDOR: SARA’S TIPSY PIES 🥧

For our next stop on Vendor 2 Vendor, we headed over to @tipsypies

Sara’s Tipsy Pies has been part of the State Fair for 11 years, and this year they brought a pretty special new creation.

The Strawberry Ube Sundae Tart. 🍓💜

It’s frozen, refreshing, and packed with strawberry and ube flavor. Basically, exactly what you want when you’re walking around the fair on a hot day.

But what we loved hearing about was everything that happens behind the scenes. They started making pies back in April and even had to figure out how to keep thousands of pies from melting along the way.

That’s what Vendor 2 Vendor is all about.

Meeting our neighbors, sharing a bite, and getting a little peek behind the pie.

This is Vendor 2 Vendor.

VENDOR 2 VENDOR: THE HERBIVOROUS BUTCHER 🎬🌱

For our next stop on Vendor 2 Vendor, we headed over to @theherbivorousb.

The menu changes every year, and this time they brought the movies with them. 🎬

The Fried and the Furious: Cubano Drift and Crunchy Rice, Hidden Tuna, both 100% vegan and both seriously good.

The Cubano Drift is packed with seitan Cuban pork, pickles, Vegan Swiss cheese and garlic mustard, while the Hidden Tuna is made with jackfruit, sushi rice and gochujang, all finished with a jalapeño citrus sauce.

And of course, we had to try the Double Feature.

That’s what we love about Vendor 2 Vendor.

Good food, good people, and getting to learn what makes each vendor unique.

This is Vendor 2 Vendor.

VENDOR 2 VENDOR: EL BURRITO MERCADO 🌮

For our next stop on Vendor 2 Vendor, we headed over to @elburritomercado

And this one was extra special because El Burrito Mercado is actually our neighbor at the fair.

We got to meet Tomas, talk a little shop, and try their Tacos de Mole, one of this year’s new foods. 🌮

Chicken, cheese and house-made mole tucked into a tortilla, deep fried, then topped with even more mole and queso fresco.

And the mole? More than 25 ingredients and based on Tomas’ mom’s recipe. ❤️

That’s what we love about Vendor 2 Vendor.

Meeting our neighbors, sharing a bite, and learning the stories behind the food.

This is Vendor 2 Vendor.
