Ah, festival food: The endless onslaught of overpriced beer and chili cheese fries that leaves you blissed out then, alas, inevitably bloated.

Yes, alongside head-turning indulgences from Dough and Eggloo, you ll find plenty of equally mouth-watering options that may sit a little easier as you dance the day away. Here, six healthier snacks to nosh on this weekend—worth making the trek to Randall s Island alone.

Nix
The rising star of the city
s vegan scene will be bringing portable hummus and grilled-corn bowls, filled with falafel and cucumber tomato salad, or topped with celery and crisps.
Inday
Choose from two of Inday’s cult coconut quinoa bowls, one with heirloom tomatoes and summer melon, the other with cold salmon salad and charred-corn salsa.

These all-natural, handmade paletas, packed with whole fruits and seasonal herbs—think roasted blueberry or mandarin orange—come in vivid, Instagrammable colors.
