All the Sweets!

Those of us with a sweet-tooth have a lot to be excited about when it comes to food at the Great Frederick Fair. One of the best can be found right on the back of an old-timey truck. The Root Beer Truck has been an institution at the fair for many years. You can find delicious and refreshing orange soda and pink lemonade, but the go-to is the namesake for this truck - the root beer. Get it in a float for the full experience with ice cream!

One of the favorite sweets can be found on the backside of the fairgrounds. Make sure you make the full loop around to Valley Concessions. There you'll find one of the gems of the Great Frederick Fair - their apple dumplings. Warmed to perfection and topped with ice cream, this is a fair delight you won't stop thinking about all year long.
