GEDDES, N.Y. — Winter Fair 2024 is set for Friday, Feb. 2 through Sunday, Feb. 4, at the Expo Center at the New York State Fairgrounds.
It’s the 5th edition of the event that includes the food, rides, music, and entertainment that people enjoy throughout the summer. The Winter Fair promoter says he hopes the fair will attract 20,000 people to the venue in the town of Geddes.

Becker also emphasizes that Winter Fair 2024 is not affiliated with the New York State Fair.
The Winter Fair is seen as an “economic boost” for the region, bringing in people from across New York state, other states, and Canada.
A new feature for Winter Fair 2024 is the Legends of Syracuse University Athletics from football, basketball, and lacrosse.

In addition, Onondaga County will be presenting the Winter Fair fireworks display on Friday and Saturday nights at 8:45 p.m. by the Expo Center.
