Since 1841, people from across New York State have come together at The Great New York State Fair. This year, the Fair is a 13-day celebration of delicious food, eye-opening exhibits, captivating entertainment, and great fun. Numerous animals, hundreds of commercial attractions, scores of exciting midway rides, and dozens of big-name entertainers are in the line up.

Governor Kathy Hochul announced that admission and parking for The 2025 Great New York State Fair are now for sale. Packed with value, a single admission ticket costs $8 and includes access to all grounds entertainment and the Chevrolet Music Series, while parking costs $12.

A Frequent Fairgoer ticket option is available for $25. Admission remains free for those aged 65 and older along with children 12 years old and under, continuing to ensure that The Fair is one of the most affordable fairs in the nation, providing an accessible space for the whole family to get offline and get outside.

As of today, tickets for this affordable, family-friendly event are now on sale. New Yorkers – get your tickets today and I’ll see you at The Fair this summer!”
