 While the directors of the Cuyahoga County Fair Board are gearing up for the 124th Annual Cuyahoga County Fair planned for Tuesday, August 10-Sunday, August 15 they’re bringing back the spring version of their “Fair Food Drive Thru.”

The Rain or Shine Event is set for Saturday, May 1 and Sunday, May 2 at the Cuyahoga County Fairgrounds in Berea, from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. each day.

Fair Board Concession Director Diane Barton states: “We are so grateful for the support of those attending our first-ever  event last fall. Our drive-thru event will highlight favorite midway foods with many concessionaires that have been a  part of the Cuyahoga County Fair for many years. The only differences are Admission is free, and you don’t have to  get out of your car.”  

“An array of sandwiches, entrées, desserts, treats and beverages will be prepared and packaged for you to enjoy and  take home. All details on this “Tasty” event can be found at cuyfair.com,” added Fair Board Secretary, Dave Stephan.  

Attendees should plan to enter at the Bagley Road Main Entrance where they will be given a menu and map of the  concessions that are available; they then will be directed to vendors they choose; and then will exit through Gate 3 onto  Eastland Road. 

ALL applicable CDC and State of Ohio COVID-19 Safety protocols will be in effect for all guests and event participants.  Entry to each event may be limited and masks and social distancing may be required. The Cuyahoga County  Fairgrounds and its events reserves the right to deny entry or to remove anyone not in compliance with applicable  safety protocols.
