SOUTHAVEN, Miss — The Mid-South Fair announced its plans to host a Fair Food Roundup showcasing delicious eats from food truck partners June 24-28 at Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi. The event is free, open to the public and will allow visitors to preview Mid-South Fair food favorites a few short months before gates open for the 164th annual event this fall.
The Mid-South Fair Food Roundup will be held in the same space as the Fair, on the east side of the Landers Center at 4560 Venture Drive, facing Interstate 55. Guests can visit from noon to 5:30 p.m. daily and enjoy Fair favorites, including funnel cakes, cotton candy, slushies, crispy chicken tenders and french fries.
“The Mid-South Fair has been a must-visit event for people of all ages for 164 years, and one of the consistent draws is the food, of course,” said Todd Mastry, Landers Center’s executive director. “We’re thrilled to be able to share Fair food favorites that evoke such wonderful nostalgia for so many Mid-South residents.”
In an effort to keep vendors and guests safe during the event, booths will be spaced appropriately, and guests will be instructed to remain 6 feet from others while waiting in line and walking around the grounds. Sanitization stations will be plentiful, and facemasks will be required for all staff and recommended for all guests. High-touch areas will be disinfected often, as well.
The vendors taking part in this event will be provided by Midway Entertainment, the Mid-South Fair’s midway partner that provides the Fair with its rides, ground acts, food and entertainment each year. For more information, please visit www.midsouthfair.com.
