New York State Winter Fair

For three days in early February the fair returns with rides, food, entertainment and more.

For the fifth time, the New York State Winter Fair returns to the Expo Center at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse Friday Feb. 2, Saturday Feb. 3 and Sunday Feb. 4, 2024. The event is billed as a  “little taste of summer” in the winter.”

The event is partnering with Legend Athletics, a name, image and likeness (NIL) agency, for special panels and meet and greets with former Syracuse athletes, like former basketball player John Wallace and football player Robert Drummond. Fans will be able to buy the players’ merchandise, and maybe shoot a hoop or two with them.
