Month: July 2021
Mondays and Tuesdays have traditionally been senior days at the New York State Fair. But with the expansion this year to an 18-day run, every day will be senior day as everyone 65 and older will be admitted free daily.
With release of the list of special days on the Fair website, the announcement is great news for seniors, who now join kids 12 and under in receiving free admission every day.
Meanwhile, the admission rate for everyone else, with the exception of designated special days, is three bucks.
If there’s anything better than one performance by the Mavericks at the 2021 New York State Fair, it’s two (or should we say dos) concerts by that award-winning band.
In a throwback scenario to the days of two Chevrolet Court concerts by the same act every day, the Fair has added a second show by Raul and the boys, the newly-booked set to be performed all in Spanish.
The en Espanol show will actually come first, at 2 p.m. on Sep. 5 on the Stan Colella Stage at Chevy Court, while the previously scheduled concert will play the same venue that evening at 7 p.m.
The last time the versatile, bi-lingual combo played Chevy Court was at the 2019 Fair and the weather couldn’t have been worse, but devoted fans shook off pelting rain and stuck around for a jalapeno-hot time in the old courtyard. Now fans have second and third chances to sample their Tex-Mex talents, this time with hopes that decent weather will greet their Latino virtuosity.
