Well another year has passed and the Iowa State Fair has made its way back to our beloved capital. With this we can expect deliciously fried foods atop sticks, never-ending entertainment, sore feet from miles of walking, and much more. Some people just can’t get enough of the fair and that inspires fair or carnival themed parties and events. However if you aren’t expecting your guests to show up in belly shirts and cutoff jeans you may want to add a touch of class to your event. We have explored some classy food and drink ideas for fair and carnival themed parties below.
Food
Serve bite-sized versions of your favorite fair food & set them up as a cute food station for guests to visit.
Send your guests home with a sweet-treat. These cotton candy favors are fun and perfectly sized for guests to take home.
Bring in food trucks to serve your favorite fair & carnival foods. These can be sweets, gyros, burgers, and more! Not only are they convenient but they’re also a big hit at parties right now.
Drinks
Serve fun flavored cocktails and drinks that remind you of the fair – other than beer.
For non-drinkers serve mini root beer floats. Love these miniature mugs!
For the adult version – just add Guinness!
Last but not least we had to share this fun carnival theme photo from a one-year-old birthday party we just recently did, it was so cute and so was the little one.
