Gov. Kathleen Hochul on Friday announced a new initiative for all SUNY students with a valid student ID card or incoming SUNY students with an admission letter to receive free admission to the Great New York State Fair on Thursday, Aug. 27, for Student Youth Day. The free admission opportunity for current and incoming SUNY students is part of The Great New York State Fair’s focus on providing more New Yorkers with a chance to see the fair, which runs from Aug. 26 to Sept. 7.
“The Great New York State Fair is one of New York’s most beloved annual traditions, where New Yorkers gather to celebrate the best of our state,” Gov. Hochul said. “Now, through free admission to this wonderful event, more SUNY students will be able to learn more about New York’s extensive agricultural industry, history and culture, and enjoy all that The Fair has to offer.”
