The annual State Fair of Texas<\/a> is all about tradition \u2014 but these days, it’s also all about “what’s new”. The State Fair has become very diligent about stirring in new ingredients to pique fairgoers’ interest (and generate stories like the one you are reading right now).<\/p>\n

For the 2025 exposition, which runs from September 26-October 19 in Fair Park, there are nine newcomers, plying their treats and wares.<\/p>\n

NEW VENDORS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chocolate Strawberry Cup<\/strong> in Nimitz Terrace
Kelly Villareal is a first-time concessionaire debuting her Kelly\u2019s Chocolate Covered Strawberries, which surely made the cut because of their trendy twist: a Dubai chocolate drizzle, crushed pistachios on the top. That’s not the only strawberry treat from this San Antonio native who grew up working at and participating in carnivals and fairs with her family since she was young.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ramen Fusion<\/strong> at Midway
Mr. Ramen Fusion owner Omar Alsaedeldein brings extensive experience in the food industry: From his first job as a server at 13 to opening not one, but two restaurants in Waxahachie, he\u2019s been perfecting his craft and chasing this dream for years. After five years of trying, he\u2019s earned a spot at the Fair where he’ll be sharing his bold ramen creations.<\/p>\n

Shug\u2019s Cinnamon Rolls<\/strong> in the Tower Building
Owner Taelor Martinez is a second-generation vendor, inspired by her father, Tom Grace (Pizza by The Giant Slice and a vendor at the Fair for over 30 years), and is thrilled to share her delicious cinnamon roll recipe from her family-friends with fairgoers. In addition to cinnamon rolls, she’ll be serving mouthwatering spuds.<\/p>\n

Vegan Vibrationz<\/strong> on Nimitz Ave.
This is the State Fair of Texas’s first-ever fully vegan food vendor. This historical addition from Jovan and Josh Cole started out as a pop-up at the Dallas Farmers Market in 2018, which then grew into a food truck and later opened a brick-and-mortar in Plano at Legacy Food Hall. They serve plant-based, in-house creations, and promise to bring a healthy twist to fair food.<\/p>\n

NEW CONCEPTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Levi’s Denim Club<\/strong> – Magnolia Beer Garden
Brand-new live music experience at the Levi\u2019s Denim Club in the Magnolia Beer Garden is set to take place each night of the State Fair of Texas at 8 pm. Guests will also have the opportunity to buy and customize new Levi\u2019s merchandise at the activation.<\/p>\n

Rousso’s Fat Bacon<\/strong> – Isaac Rousso of Taste
