PHOENIX — The fun runs from September 19 to October 26—get ready for the big Valley tradition! The Arizona State Fair features dozens of new treats to try.
Before the gates open, keep these tips in mind to save some bucks:
- One of the September-only deals includes "Munchie Madness" ($16 of food for $10 after 10 p.m.) and the “Super Value Coupon Book,” which offers vendor discounts and a Bounce Back ticket for a return in October.
- During October, the Arizona State Fair is introducing $5 Food Flight Fridays, letting fairgoers sample a variety of foods for just $5.
- “We're bringing a new food experience. So, in the past, we've had ‘Taste of The Fair,’ but this year, we're bringing ‘$5 Food Flight Fridays,’ where, if you purchase in advance, you pay $25 and you get five, $5 food vouchers, plus your fair admission. So, every stand is going to have a $5 option on Fridays from 12 p.m. to [6 p.m.] and that's the best time to come around and sample all those crazy fair,” said Lilli Scoglio, marketing and partnerships coordinator for the Arizona State Fair.
