Vegan food at the Minnesota State Fair
Vegan options at the fair are real but genuinely scarce, and they move year to year as stands change menus. These are the stands with an item I have recorded as vegan — worth confirming at the window, because a fryer shared with something else is not something a menu listing tells you.
The 2026 Minnesota State Fair ended on Monday, September 7, 2026. Everything below describes the 2026 fair, which is the most recent one — stands, buildings and rides carry over year to year, but dates, prices and schedules do not. I update it when the fair publishes for 2027.

How was this vegan list built?
From the recorded menus, not from the stand names: every stand carrying at least one item tagged vegan or asian-vegan, across the 8,143 menu items and the 2026 new-food list I hold. A stand is here for one specific item rather than because its whole menu qualifies, which is why the item that matched is named beside it. It also means the list is only as complete as the menus that have been published — a stand that has never listed its ingredients will not appear, however well it would fit. If you know of one that belongs here, send it over and I will add it.
18 listed. Everything here is in the free app too, where it works offline inside the gates. Spotted something wrong? Tell me and I will fix it. MN Fair Guide is independent and not affiliated with the Minnesota State Fair.
