The experience
What's special
A six-day Hudson Valley agricultural fair combining livestock and horticulture with midway rides, grandstand music, children’s zones and a very large food-vendor program.
What people love
Regulars call it one of the best county fairs around and a dependable family outing, with a small-kid ride section and animal barns, including a tent of baby animals, that first-timers are told not to skip. Food earns steady praise, from corn with butter, cheese fries and gyros to kettle corn and a dairy milkshake, and the pig races are called cheesy but awesome.
Protect your ears
Earplugs for loud crowds.
Cheering crowds, arena sound systems, fireworks and engines can get loud enough to hurt. Alpine PartyPlug Pro earplugs reduce noise by 21 dB, and you can still chat without taking them out. Reusable and barely visible.
