Every day at the New York State Fair brings something different to entertain and excite. Several days include a parade, marching from The Chevy Court area, down Broadway to the new Exhibit Center. PARADE BAND 17

Each parade has it’s own personality, with various bands, marchers and performers rotating through the lineup. Fire trucks, horseback riders, Fair royalty, sports cars, candy-throwing kids, antique vehicles, uniformed military and who-knows-what can be part of each event.

MARCHING BAND 16The traditional music and merriment are ever present and the stretched-out route makes it easy to get a good vantage point. Spectators love to wave at the procession and it’s a favorite of photography buffs.

Check the schedule and be ready for this venerable Fair tradition. Hint: It’s a thrill to watch from the Skyliner if you can time it right.
