Following the 2021 Great New York State Fair, which saw the exit of some of the state fair's staple vendors - like Gianelli and Dinosaur BBQ - this year's lineup is coming with a few new additions. 

Fair officials say 102 vendors are signed up to serve at this year's fair, with three that haven't participated since 2019 returning: Jim’s Fries, Pat’s Fresh Popped Kettle Corn and Russell’s Concessions. Dinosaur BBQ and Gianelli previously announced this year that they would not be returning for the 2022 State Fair. 

However, there will be 15 new food and drink vendors for fairgoers to visit when the gates open on August 24. Fair officials say the varieties span the globe, from Maine lobster and Texas BBQ to gyros from Greece. 

The new additions include: 

  • Caramel Apple Sundae
  • Balkan Street Food
  • Bold Coast Lobster Co.
  • Brazilian Bowls
  • Cinder BBQ
  • 30 Second Salsa
  • Hickory Tree Turkey BBQ
  • My Fav Candy Store
  • The State Fair Deli
  • Munjed’s Middle Eastern
  • Syracha’Cuse Hot Sauce Tasting Bar
  • The Shaved Ice Factory
  • Theo Petros Food Truck
  • Tropical Delights
  • True Honey Teas

“This large crop of new food and drink providers will offer fairgoers a wonderful chance to try new things and find new favorites. At the same time, faithful fairgoers will be delighted to return to food places that they only get a chance to try once a year, too. I’ve already started to plan my Fair meals," said State Fair Interim Director Sean Hennessey.
