Good things come in threes

“Fair Fare On The Square” Returns To Downtown Garland For a Third Year Of Fair-Inspired Foods The Entire Month Of September

The clamor from fair food lovers when the State Fair was canceled in 2020 prompted restaurants in Downtown Garland to step up to the plate with “Fair Fare on the Square.” Would-be fairgoers flocked to these eateries to get their fill of all things fit to be fried or served on a stick. The month-long program was such a hit that a return for “thirds” in 2022 confirms it is a new pre-Fair tradition.

Fair Fare on the Square kicks off on Thursday, September 1, and runs the entire month, giving visitors a head start on fair-inspired flavors.

Participating eateries are situated on Main,5th, 6th, and State streets – all either on or just a short trip from Garland’s historic Square. Cool off with a Dr. Pepper slushie or some cotton candy iced tea, indulge in homemade Frito pie or a churro flight, or go all in for a deep-fried funnel cake spam on a stick with blackberry maple jam. Of course, delicious house-made versions of fair-inspired classics like corndogs, turkey legs, and fried Oreos will also be available. That’s just a sneak peek. Make a progressive meal of it, and order lots to share, or come back on multiple days to sample even more.

*Please check directly with individual restaurants for their opening hours and days.
