I’ve taken the new foods and organized them by location—so you can hop off the bus at the West End, explore that, head through the Midway and barn area, then get to the International Bazaar and Food Building before you head to the north. If you start at the main entrance off Snelling, just hop in at the Farmer’s Union and then follow the path to the north. Enjoy!
Find a list of the new foods here and a map of the fairgrounds here.
