Live music every thursday! SEE THE FULL LINEUP
The Iowa State Fair is more than a place you go. It’s a tradition you look forward to all year long. It’s the road trip playlist, the windows down, the conversations that last the whole drive, and the moments that happen when friends and family come together under the summer sky.
This year, Destination Grille is back at the fair, ready to be part of those memories once again. From our signature red and black trailer to the lights of the midway, we’re bringing scratch-made favorites, new fair creations, and unforgettable flavors to the place where summer traditions are made. So grab your crew, make the drive, and meet us at the midway.
We’re serving a lineup of award-wiining fair favorites and new creations made to be shared, savored, and remembered. Every dish is made from scratch in our 100% gluten-free kitchen and designed to make your fair experience one you’ll want to relive.
We’re located on Logan Ave between the Craft Beer Tent and the Jacobson Building.
Some of the best fair memories happen long before the gates open. For the fourth year, Destination Grille is honored to serve as the dedicated caterer for the FFA and 4H students participating in the Iowa State Fair — preparing fresh breakfast, lunch, and dinner for hundreds of kids.
From early mornings in the barns to late nights under the midway lights, we’re proud to play a small part in helping fuel the next generation as they create fair memories of their own.
The bags are packed, the playlist is ready, and another fair adventure is waiting. Destination Grille is excited to be part of your Iowa State Fair experience this summer. Follow us on social media to join the journey, get behind-the-scenes updates, and see what’s happening at D|G throughout the fair!
