Your Run-Down of Free Shows During the Great New York State Fair
We're getting closer to the Great New York State Fair, which means one step closer to days and days of free concerts.
Who doesn't love a free concert, right?! There's just something so great about listening to music being performed right in front of you. From feeling the bass pound through you to living off the energy of the crowd surrounding you, it's just an awesome experience. Well, every year the Great New York State Fair sets up their Chevy Court Concert Series, which includes multiple musical performances every day the fair is running. This concert series brings in big acts (we're talking about national groups) to Syracuse, where they get to perform right in front of you... for FREE! It's one of the best parts about the New York State Fair. In case you missed ANY of the announcements, we've collected the full list of performers scheduled for this year's fair.
