Juicy Lucy Festival adds bold flavor to Valleyfair this summer

Valleyfair

Food lovers and thrill-seekers have a brand new reason to visit Valleyfair this weekend. The Twin Cities’ biggest amusement park is introducing the Juicy Lucy Festival—a sizzling tribute to Minnesota’s iconic cheese-stuffed burger.

Running July 12–13 and July 19–20, the Juicy Lucy Festival features bold new twists on the classic burger. Festival highlights include unique creations like the Minnesota Sushi Lucy—stuffed with cream cheese, bacon, and dill pickles—and the fiery Miss Lucy Jo, packed with ghost pepper cheese and jalapeños.

Other menu favorites include the Classic Lucy, Sophie’s Lucy with pretzel buns and beer cheese, and the sweet and tangy Creamy Cheesy Cherry Lucy.

And it’s not just about food. The festival also includes family-friendly fun, like a giant chalkboard mural, a Minnesota-shaped puzzle, and even street curling.

Valleyfair’s Regional GM, John Krajnak, says the event adds “new flavor to an already exciting summer.” The Juicy Lucy Festival runs for two weekends only—so bring your appetite!
