The Great New York State Fair begins Wednesday, August 23, and continues through Labor Day, Monday, September 4, at the New York State Fairgrounds in Syracuse. Admission is $6 for adults and free for those 65 years and older, and 12 years and younger.
The 2023 Chevrolet Music Series features daily performances at the newly renamed Suburban Park Stage and at Chevy Court. All concerts in the Chevrolet Music Series are included with the price of admission to The Fair.
Located on the western end of the Fairgrounds, beyond the Midway, is the Suburban Park Stage – formerly referred to as Chevy Park and/or the Experience Stage. It has often been compared to a “lawn experience” at other well-known concert venues across the state. Enhanced with a pond and first-come, first-served Adirondack chair seating, the space provides a casual park-esque setting to enjoy concerts, offering a different vibe than the “center court” feel of Chevy Court, which features bleacher seating and is positioned closer to the Main Gate and Colonnade Entrance.
For fairgoers’ planning, Chevy Court will host 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. performances every day during the Fair. Meanwhile, Suburban Park will host an 8 p.m. concert every night, and most days, there will be a 2 p.m. show as well.
