Target New York State Fair Visitors as They Traverse New York State!

'Explore Nearby New York' Marketing Initiative:

The New York State Fair is an iconic annual summer go-to for many visitors from across the northeastern U.S. and neighboring Canadian provinces. These visitors have made Syracuse.com the #1 media source for all things State Fair.  In 2024, 1.4 million page views were recorded on the site, reflecting audiences from all 50 states and over a dozen nations. In fact, the New York City Metro was the #1 source of page consumption for New York State Fair information. 

How does it work?
Advance Media NY Travel & Tourism and NYSTIA are partnering to offer New York destinations an opportunity to take advantage of this incredible audience to encourage fairgoers to visit your destination on their way to the Fair or on their way home from the Fair… or invite them to visit later this Fall... with ad placement adjacent to /embedded in NYS Fair content.  

The Fair coverage will begin on August 6 and run through September 5, 2025. Act now to take advantage of this timely marketing opportunity!
