New York State Fair

Take a sneak peak as well as a look back at amazing sand sculptures from the New York State Fair.

The Great New York State Fair begins today (August 20th) in Syracuse and there are a few things you should know before you go. It is eighteen days filled with food, fun, entertainment, rides, animals, live music, and attractions. Last year the fair was canceled due to COVID but this year they are planning on opening the fair at one hundred percent capacity.

The Great New York State Fair is back this year so that means that you can now reserve your campsite for the fair. Reservations are now being accepted for the full-service campground at the Empire RV Park. This is a three hundred and three space campground right on the New York State Fairgrounds next to the famous Midway.

Cuomo announced that the New York State Fair will open to 100% capacity this August. Will you need to prove that you are vaccinated or are we on the honor system?

There hasn't been a lot of guidance on whether or not the state and county fairs will be happening this year but I know my fingers are crossed. Last year, most if not all, fairs were canceled or drive-thru only. If you've been jonesing for that delicious, greasy, and deep-fried New York State Fair Food, you can indulge this weekend.

We are in the middle of fair season, with The Great New York State Fair starting on Wednesday. Fairs are fun because of the games, the livestock, but let's be real, we all want to try the strange fair food!
