It’s a great day weather-wise here on day 11 of The Great New York State Fair and the crowds are robust. They keep gathering around and browsing the literature racks…right until we’re trying to take a video! Then p**f!!! lol but we’re keeping things stocked and answering folks’ questions. The Syracuse University football team hosts its season opener in town today bringing even more people in this weekend - Go ‘Cuse!

We’d be remiss if we didn’t say thank you and spotlight Discover Seneca County, NY for sponsoring an entire kiosk for themselves and their tourism partners in our info center at The Great New York State Fair. So, THANK YOU Seneca County friends!

So, seems like situation normal at The Great New York State Fair. Not going to let a little thunder rumble and flooding keep us down! We're back at it helping people find things to do and campgrounds to enjoy.

We get an early night tonight at the New York State Fair, unfortunately. But, with any luck, the skies will clear up and tomorrow will be another great day for sharing camping and travel ideas with fairgoers! To everyone out there having iffy weather in your neck of the woods...we hope you stay safe and well!

Fairgoers, we’re sad to say that in anticipation of severe thunderstorms this evening, the Fair will be closing early today! Our two evening concerts will still go on, so if you’re already on the Fairgrounds, please stick around and enjoy the shows! The Fair will close at 6pm, after Priscilla Block’s 4:30 p.m. performance at Chevy Court and Tori Kelly’s 5pm performance at Suburban Park.

4:30 p.m. – all parking closes
5:15 p.m. – gates close
5:30 p.m. – the midway closes
6:00 p.m. – the fairgrounds close

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to see you back here tomorrow!

Our first thought is kool-aid or the orange juice made from frozen concentrate!

Very important question.

What drink comes to mind when you see this?

It's not all weather gloom and doom today. We're set up at The Great Allentown Fair in Pennsylvania. The weather is cloudy and humid with a high near 76°F and a small chance of a daytime shower. So, seems pretty good!

🎉 THE DAY IS HERE! 🎉

The Great Allentown Fair opens TODAY, and you don’t want to miss it! 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

What better way to kick things off than with the legendary Four Tops, joined by the Allentown Symphony Orchestra, for a truly special Opening Night celebration!

Get ready for an unforgettable night of music, memories and Fair tradition. 🎶✨

Some days can get a little dicey when it comes to weather at the shows we attend. Today was, shall we say, "wet" at The Great New York State Fair. There's some flooding and temporary gate closures but it's sunny now and things are drying up so the fair will get back on track asap! Our staff gal Mindy is standing by and ready to roll when the waiting crowds are let in. (We'll share her pics in the comments).

The Fair gates are temporarily closed as we mitigate flood damage on the fairgrounds. At this time, the Wilson Phillips concert at Chevy Court is postponed (time TBD). We hope to reopen as soon as possible!

We encourage fairgoers to text NYSF to 888777 to receive direct emergency alerts via text with updates.

Day 5 at The Great New York State Fair. It’s Sunday so it should be a slower start because of what we (ok me) calls the “church and brunch” crowd. But we looked up from the camera and hey! Where did all these people come from?
