Join Nate for a 'Fair-Cation' at the New York State Fair

The New York State Fair (or as I call it "Fair-cation") is one of my favorite events of the year. I absolutely love the 13 full days of speaking with fairgoers about all the fantastic destinations and attractions New York State has to offer.

I think you will too, if you join me this year! This is a great opportunity for you to tell your destination's story and assist visitors with planning their next New York State vacation!

I'm seeking volunteers to help promote New York State destinations at the 2026 Great New York State Fair. Volunteers will receive a free parking pass and two admission tickets for the day(s) you volunteer. Choose a morning or afternoon shift and enjoy the full day at the New York State Fair with friends and colleagues.

Volunteers are at the heart of this effort. Not only do they share their destinations with fairgoers, but they also connect with fellow colleagues and deepen their knowledge of New York State tourism:

“The most rewarding parts of volunteering at the fair are building connections with fellow tourism professionals, sharing knowledge and deepening our understanding of New York State, and engaging with visitors.” - Kaytlynn Lynch, Executive Director of Madison County Tourism, 2025 NYS Fair Volunteer

In addition to the above, volunteers will receive:

• A free parking pass, and
• Two admission tickets for the day(s) you volunteer
