Bloomsburg Fair Event Parking

Good lord, what a disaster that was on a busy night. You start out on the main road, cars driving willy-nilly some in the lane, some on the shoulder. Where should you be to get to parking? who knows there 's no sign until your at the intersection.Now you 're trying to turn around in this little town with poorly timed lights, dodging the pedestrians. Your spouse is giving you an earful that you missed a godd@mn turn.You make it back to the parking line, wait for 25mins until you pull up to the gate. Here you 'll find a minor asking for $5. You hand the lil fella a fiver and they give you a parking pass.You follow the rest of the caravan of cars who are being directed by people with little lightsabers. They flag you this way, and that way. You 're snaking through the muddy field of parked cars. No spots, but flaggers keep beckoning you forwards saying Just go this way to park! . You follow their directions and BOOM now you 're back out on the main road and outside the fair. Thank you for your $5 and 25min driving through our bog.

Yelp asks do you recommend this business Ummmmm YEAAAAH!!? With around 1,400 vendors and most of them food HECK YEAH I recommend! We walked (and walked and walked) around the biggest Fair in PA looking for something different. I mean sure, you could find French fries, pizza, sausage sandwiches, cheesesteaks, etc in about every 5 yards you walked but we were seeking the stuff you don 't see or get to try at your local spots. What we found: Flaming Jalapeño has amazing Pu Pusa 's! The vinegar slaw and hot sauce made it even better. Their hot sauce has such a great flavor but isn 't so bad that you have to drink a gallon of milk afterwards. They are from Hazleton, PA and opening a restaurant soon so if you happen to be in that area, check for them!! They also had a bunch of different cold drinks pink horchata (was really good), horchata, coconut, banana, hibiscus and more. They give free samples too! I love BBQ so I couldn 't leave without trying one. Bobby 's BBQ was very good a decent portion of moist pork with the option to add sauce. I am also a potato pancake addict and I hate making them so Fair season is my fave! I had the best at Alligator bites were so popular they were selling out. A few stands has them and I took some home for my son. The empanadas we had were filled well but I wasn 't too impressed with the seasoning and I prefer our local empanadas. The frozen chocolate covered banana with sprinkles brought up the rear for dessert and I wasn 't disappointed. At all. I need to start making these long sticks of chocolate dipped deliciousness at home! Holy **** were we full after our visit! But there were still MANY more foods to try! We may have to head back to check out foods such as the meatball sub with fresh made blueberry BBQ sauce (ok, maybe not that one for me as I 'm a tomato sauce girl) from Stemmrich Blueberry Farm, or a pineapple bowl that is stuffed with rice, choice of meat, pico de gallo, cheese sour cream, and don 't forget the donut burger at Huck 's Grill Shack!! There is literally so much food I HIGHLY suggest checking out the vendor list and where they are located. I wish I would 've done this! Oh well, there 's a few more days left!! Parking is still $5 and enter the Fair for $8. You can also buy online and get a $1 discount.

If you're here for food, you win. We went for food and we found A LOT of excellent food. Didn't do any other shopping, just walked around and ate a lot and took the ski lift ride across the grounds.

Parking is always fair and reasonably priced. I’d always park here and avoid trying to find free side streets in downtown Bloom. The only thing that I’d recommend, is that when you come in the afternoon or PM they try to keep parking people rows out down at the bottom. The truth is if you just ignore the individual pointing to park you a 1/2 mile out; you can drive to the front rows where “early birds” parked and left by noon. Nobody seems to “repark” in this open spots. I went two times in the PM this year and was at rows 5 6 with a two mins walk to gate. Seemed to make the parking boys a little unhappy I kept driving past them but it makes no sense. If I’m paying I’m going to attempt to get the best parking available. Worst case is to circle back down and park in the end of the field like others.
