Ride-all-Day Wristbands on Sale for $20
The Great New York State Fair and its Midway partner, Wade Shows, are teaming up to offer a flash sale this Thursday, August 4 from 4:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. The sale will run exclusively for 20 hours to coincide with the countdown to the return of the Fair, which, as of Thursday, will be 20 days away!
In addition, Wade Shows is offering fairgoers an opportunity to score ride-all-day wristbands for just $20 each. The wristbands are valid any day, weekday or weekend, during the Great New York State Fair. When the Fair starts on August 24, the cost increases to $30 Monday through Friday, and $35 on Saturdays and Sundays, thus this deal represents a savings of up to $15 per wristband.
Here’s how it works: To purchase a discounted wristband(s), fair goers can click “Add to Cart” at this link, which is also accessible through the Great New York State Fair website’s Midway page. The deal will only be available for 20 hours.
“This is a great way for families who are planning ahead to get a great deal,” said Sean Hennessey, Interim Director of the Fair. “We know the Midway is a tradition for many New Yorkers, and we want to keep things as affordable as we can to make sure as many people as possible have access to the family-fun we offer.”
“This is the deal of the year,” said Frank Zaitshik, president of Wade Shows. “We wanted to do something really special for Fair guests this year. For 20 hours, they will have access that just can’t be beat!”
The State Fair begins on Wednesday, August 24 and continues through Labor Day, Monday, September 5. Admission tickets – just $3 – are on sale now on the State Fair’s website.
The Wade Shows Midway will be open from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 11:00 a.m. to 12 a.m. (Midnight) Saturday and Sunday. On Labor Day, the last day of the Fair, the Midway will close at 9:00 p.m.
Wade Shows, the second-largest carnival operator in the United States, will bring more than 50 thrilling and immaculately maintained rides to the New York State Fair, along with dozens of fun games, and classic carnival food.
