The Kansas State Fair organizers are bringing back a fun event in June 25.
Enjoy some great music and your favorite fair cuisine in Hutchinson for FREEEE (just $5 parking fee per car if you want on-grounds parking) from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, 2022.
State Fair organizers first held Fair Food & Tunes in 2020 when the Kansas State Fair had to be cancelled. It gave us an opportunity to have food fit for the state fair, listen to some live music, and shop many favorite fair vendors.
This year, they’ll have the giant slide open (yay!), live entertainment on the Lake Talbott stage, and an “open-air restaurant” with food vendors spread out across from the stage.
Again, there’s NO gate fee! Admission is free. Some free parking will even be available on the north side of State Fair Road, but you might want to bring $5 to cover the on-grounds parking fee in case no free parking is available – or if you just want to park a little bit closer. Attendants at the paid parking lot will help you park. Paid handicap parking will be available through Gate #3 (at 23rd and Main by Skaets), and free handicap parking will be available by Gate #5. They have a map at their website here.
Definitely also bring your chairs and/or blanket since the entertainment will be held in a park-like environment. You could even have a picnic with your fair food!
