The Minnesota State Fair has released its list of new foods and vendors debuting in 2025. Foodies can start planning their trip by exploring the fair’s newest additions.
From deep-fried shrimp toast on a stick to falafel waffles, this year’s menu offers a variety of unique dishes. Twin Cities-rooted vendors like Saturday Dumpling Co. are joining established favorites like Hoyo’s sambas.
The new menu items reflect the diversity and flavors of Minnesota. Expect to find dishes such as kalua pork, Jamaican oxtail, Dubai chocolate, and more.
Some highlights from the list include Afro Bean Pops from Afro Deli, which combines black-eyed peas with onions, jalapeños, cilantro, and secret seasonings before deep-frying them. Served with red chili sauce on a bed of mixed greenery, these vegan-friendly bites are gluten-free.
