Take a Spin at the Tulsa State Fair

Food, entertainment and agriculture collide at the Tulsa State Fair.  The annual event opens at 11 a.m. on September 29. Family fun is the goal, and the fair has something for everyone!

Funnel Cakes and More: Food at the Fair

The Original Minneapple Pie Deep Fried Cookie Dough Sundae

Corndogs, Pineapple Whip and Lemonade. What’s your favorite fair food? Is it Fire Roasted Corn on the Cob or a Deep Fried Oreo? What about an Indian Taco or Ribbon Fries? Food is king at fairs across the country and Tulsa’s fair is no different. While no one should miss out on their favorite traditional fare, the new, creative (sometimes peculiar) and delicious foods steal the spotlight.

*New for 2022* Cotton Candy Citrus Cooler from Festival Foods

New foods for 2022 include:

• Hot Cheeto and Dill Pickle Shakes/Smoothies from Pineapple Whip
• Deep Fried Fruity Pebble Cheesecake from SKT Concessions
• Deep Fried Cookie Dough Sundae from The Original Minneapple Pie
