Fair food concessions will be set up in a come-and-go fashion and all food will be served and packaged to take to-go.
The event will take place Thursday through Sunday for two consecutive weeks — September 24 - 27, and again October 1 - 4. Food vendors will be open 11 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Food stands will be setup along Fair Park Drive at the East Texas State Fairgrounds. The grounds will be equipped with hand sanitizing stations and staff to ensure that visitors are adhering to social distancing standards. All staff, concessionaires, and visitors will be required to wear masks. Seating will not be available, as food is served to-go only.
