Looking for something to do with the whole family? The State Fair Food Festival taking place at the NY State Fairgrounds is getting bigger and better with some additions for a memorable experience.
For weeks, Food vendors have teamed up to give Central New Yorkers the whole fair experience. They started the event during the pandemic in 2020 when the State Fair got canceled. For a while, it was just food vendors who are typically most popular during the fair. This weekend, they re adding some fun fair rides and a drive-in movie to bring in more people.
Syracuse.com reports that the rides and games will come courtesy of Main Events Amusements, owned by the culinary entity of the event, Carnival Eats Syracuse.

That means the Giant Slide, The Scrambler, a kids’ rollercoaster and more are joining in the offerings of pizze frittes, gyros, deep-fried Oreos and wine slushies Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the State Fairgrounds.
