GEDDES, N.Y. — Organizers of the 2020 Syracuse Nationals car show announced Monday they are canceling this year’s event, which had been scheduled for mid-July, due the coronavirus pandemic.
The Syracuse Nationals show will return to the New York State Fairgrounds July 16-18, 2021.
“The health and safety of our participants, vendors, sponsors and more than 90,000 attendees has always been our number one priority. With that being said, we have decided that the risks of having this event, outweigh the benefits of opening our gates this year,” per a message on the show’s website.
Right Coast Inc. of Brewerton, which organizes the show, says the decision was “inevitable.”
“…even if all the restrictions have been lifted by our scheduled show time and we could assure the health and safety of everyone attending, it is not possible for us to put into place all the elements required to execute the quality event we are known for,” it said.
The organizers also announced they have been working with the state on a renewed five-year contact, which keeps the show at the State Fairgrounds through 2025.
