Originally Published 4 months ago — by Syracuse.com
The 2025 New York State Fair opened with a notably small crowd due to rainy and cold weather, with the first attendee arriving early despite the conditions. The gates opened at 9 a.m., but the usual bustling atmosphere was subdued, and many vendors were not yet operational. Gov. Kathy Hochul is expected to attend, and the event continues for 12 days with various food and entertainment offerings.
