About New York State Fair

The New York State Fair in Syracuse is one of America's oldest and largest state fairs, drawing well over a million visitors to the Fairgrounds on the edge of the Finger Lakes for thirteen days of world-class entertainment, agriculture, and celebration.

What to Expect

Expect headlining musical acts across multiple stages, championship livestock competitions, butter sculpture, major midway rides and games, Taste NY pavilion with local food and drink, educational exhibits, and an extraordinary variety of fair food.

Visitor Tips

Buy advance tickets for admission and concerts — top acts sell out fast. Parking is available but the free shuttles from remote lots save time. The Taste NY pavilion is a must for local wine, beer, and food.
