While some its neighbors have been demolished, Alivero’s, the westernmost food stand on the grounds of the New York State Fair is still intact, so it looks like it will be operating during this year’s Fair.
Month: April 2018
The new stage in the New York Experience area didn’t generally attract big crowds in its first year, but look for a better flow to the western end of the grounds in 2018 as the new events center building and such established favorites as the Cow Birthing Center and the Talent Showcase draw fans. Readily accessible transportation along Broadway could give it a major boost, so State Fair Hound hopes to see that as well.
Progress continues on the new event center at the New York State Fair. 
Completion is expected by opening day, though the area will still be under construction during the Syracuse Nationals in July.
If you’re wondering about the exact location of the new building, it’s going up at the western end of the grounds, near the Youth Building and the Talent Showcase stage, just past the sheep barn. 
Riding the Broadway Skyliner to its western terminus would be the most fun way to get there.
A touching moment in the cattle barn reminds State Fair visitors that dairy products start with animals who have personalities and feelings.
The musical instrument museum on the Art and Home Center second floor features beautiful
antique phonographs, pianos, organs and posters in a dandy, free exhibit.
With 20 weeks to go to opening day of the 2018 New York State Fair, State Fair Hound starts the weekly countdown of photos from last year.
Dive into your pre-Fair planning by getting an early look at scheduled events, checking your calendar and budgeting some cash to spend during that magical baker’s dozen of summer days.
