Fairtime Tent Requirements & Rental Services:

For the 2024 New York State Fair all outdoor rental tents on the Fairgrounds MUST be installed by one of our selected contractors - no personal tents or pop-ups are to be used. The ONLY approved contractors that can provide rental tents are TGIF Event Services and Part Rental Enterprises. Any vendor planning on renting a tent will need to complete the Preferred Tent Order Form below by Friday, July 1, 2024, for processing. The Fair will notify the selected contractor chosen on the form who will then reach out to you to coordinate size, payment, and any other details - it will be the responsibility of the vendor and selected contractor to finalize this information. Any changes must be coordinated through the Fair first for approval. All tent rentals must be applied for through the State Fair Tent Rental Form.

Bottled Water Services Program:

For 2024, there is no sole source provider for water this year. Vendors can select any size bottled water they want to sell for a maximum price of $2, and they may purchase from any supplier/store they choose. Please note, no water can be sold for more than $2. Vendors may choose to sell water for below $2, but they cannot price any water bottle at more than $2. These bottled water guidelines are in place for the 2024 Fair, and are subject to change in subsequent years.

 

Bag Waste Reduction Law:

For more information about the use of vendors using plastic bags at the New York State Fair, please visit this website: Bag Waste Reduction Law - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation.

 

Cannabinoid Hemp Product License:

Vendors planning to sell cannabinoid hemp products (both online or in person) at the New York State Fair, must be an approved vendor accepted by the New York State Fair Concessions Department.  You are required to obtain a Cannabinoid Hemp Retail License or Temporary Retail Permit from the New York State Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) before selling cannabinoid hemp products to consumers at the New York State Fairgrounds. A copy of the license or permit must be provided to the Department before any agreement is approved by the Department for the sale of cannabinoid hemp products onsite. Contractors found to be selling cannabinoid hemp products that are not licensed/permitted, will be asked to immediately remove those products from their licensed space. Failure to remove cannabinoid hemp products that are not licensed/permitted by OCM or failure to obtain the required license/permit from OCM will result in termination of this Agreement.
