Record-breaking attendance at 2023 NY State Fair signals post-pandemic success

The final attendance at the 2023 New York State Fair exceeded the post-pandemic years, with a total of 932,699 people attending the 13-day event. However, this falls short of pre-pandemic attendance levels, where more than 1 million people attended annually. The muggy weather on the last day may have affected attendance, with 72,529 people visiting, over 20,000 less than the peak attendance over the weekend. Nevertheless, the fair's attendance has been on the rise, surpassing last year's total by over 50,000 fairgoers and exceeding 2021 attendance by 134,604 people.

"No Smoking Zone: NYS Fair Implements Stricter Regulations on Tobacco and Cannabis Use"

The New York State Fair has implemented a new policy that prohibits smoking and vaping (both tobacco and cannabis) on the fairgrounds. Instead, designated smoking areas will be located outside the pedestrian gates, about 50 feet away from the fairgrounds. Fairgoers will be allowed to smoke in these areas before entering or after exiting the fairgrounds. This change comes after complaints about marijuana smoke and smell at the fairgrounds. The new policy is consistent with other large outdoor public spaces in New York State.

"Changes and Attractions at the 2023 York State Fair"

The New York Brew Pub & Distillery, a popular beer and liquor outlet at the New York State Fair, has decided not to return this year due to factors such as decreased foot traffic, increased competition, and the Fair's 25% fee on alcohol sales. The stands, known for their extensive selection of New York state beers and distilled products, including "Moonshine Slush," have been unable to generate enough revenue to stay open. However, the operators will continue to run their various food concessions at the fairgrounds. State Fair officials are finalizing details for a new vendor to fill the brew pub's spot in The Eatery building.
