Features & Capabilities

Going to the Great New York State Fair? Don't leave home without this free app! This app shows you what's happening and where using a detailed map of the fair. Select an event from the daily schedule and the app will zoom in to show you where the event is located. You can also zoom in and out by hand for greater detail. During the fair, the schedule opens to the current time - no need to scroll through events.

This app does NOT require internet access - all data is stored on your device. If internet access is available, this app will dynamically update the schedule so that you always have the latest information. For the latest schedule information, we recommend running the app for a few minutes with internet access before you visit the fair.

** The satellite view also shows your current location at the fair (internet access and IOS 7 or later required). **

Displays schedules for the following entertainment:

Chevy Concert & Chevy Park Regional Artists Variety Stage Adventure Zone Youth Activity Center Sports Activity Center Colonnade Iroquois Village Pan-African Village Grange Building Entertainment New Times Theater Dairy Building Entertainment Strolling Entertainment Upstate Shows Concert Series Midway Music Concert Series

Does NOT show events which run all day long or agriculture, horse or livestock schedules.

Does NOT show vendor names or locations (except for a few personal favorites) at this time. A link to the fair food finder was added at our users request.

A Map Legend is available on the map with a link to it at the bottom of the buildings/exhibit list found under the FIND button along with a couple of my favorite stops.

Tapping on building numbers displays the building name on supported devices.

Tap and double-tap provides two levels of zoom to that location on supported devices.

Offseason Events page for year-round coverage of all events at the fair grounds.

If you have trouble running the app, close some of your other apps which are running in the background using up the memory on your device.

Written by someone who grew up two miles from the fairgrounds. Over the years while attending the fair, I would check the printed guide to see what was happening and where. This app was created to easily answer the two things you need to know - what is happening now and where. I hope you enjoy the fair as much as I do.

This app is not sponsored or managed by the New York State Fair. They introduced their own official app in 2015. Our app has been here guiding people through the fair (and off-season) since 2011.

If you like the app, please let others know, and check out our Party Jukebox app too! If you have problems, please contact us directly. We can't contact the people who leave reviews.

User Reviews

Overall, users appreciate the app for its clear maps and integrated event schedule, with interactive building details that help you locate activities. However, the majority of feedback highlights missing functionality and reliability: no robust search across vendors or events; no comprehensive vendor listings; content is outdated; GPS/navigation features are absent or unreliable; and there are stability issues like crashes. To be truly useful at the fair, the app needs updated content, better search and vendor data, real-time location features, and improved stability.
Pros
  • Clear maps that help you navigate the fairgrounds.
  • Complete schedule of events integrated into the app.
  • Interactive map with building information when tapping locations.
  • Helpful for locating where things are at the fair (orientation aid).
Cons
  • No search function for vendors, events, or attractions.
  • No comprehensive vendor listings or sufficient vendor details (e.g., food vendors).
  • Outdated data and maps; content hasn’t been updated in years.
  • GPS/location features are missing or unreliable.
  • Stability issues, including crashes on launch and unresponsive links.

Very poor excuse for an App. Needs a search function for EVERYTHING at the fair not just the buildings that have been there forever.

This app is better then I thought it would be. It lists the schedule of events, and as time goes by throughout the day, the app lists the most recent events. The map is interactive to some degree, you can tap the number listed on the building, and it contains the name of the building. Also, if you tap on an event from the schedule, it will show you on the map where it’s located.

I agree this app was terrible. The schedule kept updating while I was using it and the link to fair food never loaded. Last year the app was great. I was disappointed this year that it was not helpful at all.
