Starting Thursday, August 27th and ending Sunday, September 6th, Midtown Global Market will transform their space and feature fair fare with an international flair (say that 3 times!).

The menu features both new and known fried unique faves from cheese curds to Sweet Martha’s Cookie Dough to the iconic photo-worthy Manny’s Tortas Piña Colada. Plus, if you’re looking to cool off with an ice cold beer, Eastlake Craft Brewery will feature their brand new Pick-a-Peck Sour Dill Pickle Gose.

For those who like to plan their fair outings, here is the list of vendors and items they will be offering:
