Brafford's Lemonade

Brafford's Lemonade Home of the Best Lemonade at the Iowa State Fair! Our family has been serving fairgoers since 1948.

Since 1948 the Brafford family has been serving quality refreshments at the Iowa State Fair and throughout the Des Moines metro. We are most known for our freshly squeezed lemonade shake-ups but we also have concessions that sell Footlong Hot Dogs, Funnel Fries and also Burrito/Taco concessions. We are a family run business who takes pride in our long-lasting tradition of friendly service and a quality product.
