THE ORIGINAL RAINBOW ICE CREAM CONE

In 1927 two brothers, Barney and Jim Davis, hammered together a few boards to make a concession stand -- and started selling ice cream at the Minnesota State Fair.

They sold chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Each day they ran out of one flavor or the other. So, they asked a friend at Northland Ice Cream if he could make an ice cream combining all three flavors together. TA DA! The birth of “Rainbow Ice Cream” at the Minnesota State Fair.

Rainbow Ice Cream has been a Minnesota State Fair tradition since 1930. Our blend of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla flavored ice cream is swirled in a colorful mix and served in a waffle or cake cone. Rainbow Ice Cream has been specially made just for the Minnesota State Fair. If chocolate is your treat then try the Rainbow Chocolate ice cream, a blend of dark chocolate, white chocolate and milk chocolate with chocolate shavings.

 Back by popular demand again in 2017, our Bacon Ice  Cream
  …candied & cooked bacon, in a delicious maple base. Our    team of researchers has been on the hunt to find the    perfect combination of sweet, savory and salty. After  stumbling on the idea of combining our favorite foods,    bacon and ice cream, we have spent months perfecting the  recipe. Our deliciously smooth ice cream, with a touch of  maple flavor, is perfectly blended with cooked and candied bacon and served in a waffle bowl. You can find bacon ice cream at the Rainbow Ice Cream stands located near the entrance to the Midway, on the west side of Kiddie Land, at the intersection of Dan Patch and Underwood and underneath the Grandstand Ramp.
