Welcome to our daily New York State Fair concert guide! We’ll be publishing a list of music performers and showtimes every day of the 2025 NYS Fair on syracuse.com.
There are two main stages: Suburban Park and Chevy Court. Suburban Park will host the Fair’s largest concerts in the New York Experience area on the west end near Gate 10, in the back of the Midway and past the Expo Center. Chevy Court is located near Gate 1, next to the Center of Progress Building and by the Dairy Products Building. Both have limited seating available.
No tickets are required for concerts. All are free with admission to the fair, which is $8 this year — and free for seniors 65 and older and kids 12 and under.
