“The Great New York State Fair is a perfect opportunity for a group outing, corporate gathering, family reunion or other large event,” said Interim Fair Director Julie LaFave. “Every year, we have an overwhelming response from groups and organizations that want to celebrate at The Fair, and we couldn’t be more excited to provide a venue for fun, excitement, and connectivity. The Fair plays such a pivotal role in helping to bring people together each summer for what is sure to be a life-long memory.”
The Great New York State Fair is the most affordable state fair in the country. All concerts and ground entertainment are included in the price of each ticket.
The Fair starts Wednesday, August 21, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 2. Admission to The Great New York State Fair includes access to 39 national recording acts. There will be a daily 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. concert at Chevy Court (located near Gate 1), and a daily 8 p.m. concert at Suburban Park (located on the western end of the Fairgrounds, beyond the Midway).
Updated concert schedules are available on The Fair’s website at pages dedicated to Chevy Court and Suburban Park.
