The extension still needs to be approved by the New York Legislature but it seems like a foregone conclusion. The New York State fair posted the new fair dates on Facebook.
The 2020 New York State fair is expected to start sooner, running August 21 - September 7.
Should the New York State fair last longer or is 13 days long enough?
