“Fire up the ovens, Muffin Man! We got a big order to fill,” as the sensational ogre-themed Shrek Rave makes its way from the swamp to Chevy Court at The Great New York State Fair on Friday, September 4, at 9 p.m.
“Shrekno” provides an immersive 360° projection experience complete with animations of iconic Shrek characters and a light show perfectly paired with the flow of music. This campy, countercultural phenomenon offers lovers of the Shrek franchise the chance to don their favorite character’s costume and vibe along to hit songs from the movies’ soundtracks. Whether you’re Donkey dancing to “I’m a Believer” or Lord Farquaad finding the rhythm to “All Star,” you won’t want to miss this completely unique musical cosplay event.
Fairgoers are encouraged to dress the part while abiding by The Fair’s dress code, which does not allow for masks or face coverings. Details can be found here: Rules of Conduct - The Great New York State Fair.
