Arizona State Fair Will Hold A Drive-Thru Food Event

With the coronavirus pandemic still in full swing, the Arizona State Fair was canceled. However, you'll still be able to get your fix of deep fried fair food all from the safety of your vehicle.

Officials for the fair announced on Friday that there will be a drive-thru event only for food. The event will take place over the next two weekends.

Officials said in a statement that Arizona residents were worried about how they'd have to go without their fair favorites this year.

Wanell Costello, executive director of Arizona State Fair, said, "'What about my turkey leg? How will I get my funnel cake? I need my annual corn dog!' was what we kept hearing. We wanted to figure out how to bring a smile to people's faces, but do it safely and with COVID protocols in place."

The drive-thru event will take place on September 25th through the 27th, and then again from October 2nd to October 4th from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. each day.

There is no admission cost and event coordinators are asking that everyone enter the fairgrounds at 19th Avenue and Monte Vista.
