Where can you see several attractions, rides, games, displays, exhibits, sample all kinds of tasty foods and listen to some of world’s best entertainment all in one location about an hours drive from here?

The answer is simple The Great New York State Fair in Syracuse, N.Y. Going on now through September 1st

Each year the fair takes on a new theme and this year it’s “Summer’s Best In Show” which will feature new attractions with a new midway by Wade Shows, 63 rides featuring one of the largest rollercoaster’s in the country, and two Kiddielands to balance out this great family event.

A new major exhibit called Shipwrecks of the :”Great” Great Lakes, which will reveal the hidden world of shipwrecks in New York waters.
Old favorites, like the wine court, the history of the fair exhibit, and much more.

The grandstand concerts feature legendary groups, like Journey and Cheap Trick, plus great entertainment with your general admission to the fair at center court ,featuring the Doobie Brothers, Night Ranger, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts and more.
