Center stage for music at the New York State Fair is the Chevrolet Court concert series, featuring national acts from across the music spectrum. But Chevy isn’t the only place to get your music fix as smaller stages in various locations around the grounds offer some fine talent.
Just a few steps from the court, for instance, 
the Pan African Village has nightly entertainment with its own spirit and character. You can listen while sitting in the picnic area, enjoying the exotic food that makes the village an unusual Fair locale.
Stop into the Dairy Building where its small stage comes alive several times each day, mostly with singles or duos who play in the shadow of the Milk Bar.
At the other end of the grounds, the large rigging at the edge of the New York Experience pond hosts full bands on a regular schedule, this year presenting some national acts. The Experience stage has a bright future with tons of potential.
Several food stands along Restaurant Row and on Broadway set up bands to keep customers happy while they gobble a meal or sip a drink.
The Grange Building also features live acts, primarily music and dancing on its small stage.
Music schedules are available on the Fair website, nysfair.ny.gov.
