Birthday Cake Cookie Dough On-A-Stick? Pizza Cheese Curd Tacos? Bacon Fries? It’s all happening.
Every year it feels like summer has barely started when we’re already making plans to eat heaps of pickle pizza or deep-fried ranch dressing.
It’s happening already. The Minnesota State Fair has unveiled its highly anticipated list of new foods for the 2025 installment of the Great Minnesota Get-Together. This year, there will be 33 new foods and eight new vendors arriving.
The slate of new foods includes a lot of desserts that are alluring — the Birthday Cake Cookie Dough On-A-Stick — and some eyebrow-raising items that are so surprising, you just want to try them to say you did. (Ahem, hey there, Croffle Cloud.)
There are also plenty of items that are attempting to take the deep-fried ranch dressing role for this year, as the most off-the-wall dish. Among the contenders: Pizza Cheese Curd Tacos, Smashadilla, Sweet Squeakers, and the Uncrustaburger.

Here’s a peek at all the new foods that are debuting in 2025 and where you’ll be able to track them down.
