Welcome to the official website of the Empire Expo Center and the Great New York State Fair!

As we review the 2008 New York State Fair and plan for the 2009 Fair at the Empire Expo Center, we invite you to watch our website for updates on the many exciting attractions scheduled for the next year's Great New York State Fair, which runs August 27 through September 7, 2009.

Keep in mind that the Empire Expo Center is a busy, active place all year round. There is something going on nearly every weekend, and at many other times. Our website will provide you with detailed information on current and upcoming events scheduled at the Empire Expo Center.

We welcome your comments and suggestions so that we may provide all our guests the highest level of customer service. Please feel free to email us at newyorkstatefair@agmkt.state.ny.us.

Just as we roll out the red carpet for the annual New York State Fair, we roll out the red carpet leading to the Empire Expo Center all year long, by way of our website. Please visit our site often and then come visit us at the Empire Expo Center. The red carpet is waiting for you.

See you at the Empire Expo Center,

Dan O'Hara
Director, New York State Fair
