Uncle Kracker to Perform at State Fair's Chevrolet Music Festival
New York Ag Connection - 06/18/2021
Uncle Kracker, whose hits, "Follow Me" and "Drift Away," were top 10 smashes will perform on the Chevy Park stage at the 2021 Great New York State Fair Sept. 3 at 2 p.m. It's the fourth visit for the singer/songwriter, following stops in 2004, 2009 and 2014. All Chevrolet Music Festival concerts are free with $3 Fair admission.
"We're glad to bring Uncle Kracker back to the Fair. His shows have always been well-received and his move to add country music to his repertoire makes this a show for fans of nearly any kind of popular music," said Troy Waffner, Fair Director.
Uncle Kracker joins a lineup of more than 50 national touring shows presented in the Chevrolet Music Festival, the largest free music festival at any state fair in America.
Based on current state guidance, concerts are likely to take place on the Chevy Park stage in the New York Experience festival grounds. Attendance will be limited. Concertgoers will need a ticket to enter the concert area in addition to the $3 admission ticket to the Fair. Concert area tickets will be free of charge and available until the attendance limit is reached. Food and beverages will be available inside the concert area. Families and groups will be assigned to a designated area from which they can enjoy the concert. Masks will be required any time a person is outside their designated area.
Chevrolet sponsors concerts at the Great New York State Fair.
The Reimagined 2021 Great New York State Fair brings back the elements fairgoers love best -- food, music, rides and games, and agriculture -- in an outdoor format designed to be as safe as possible. Based on current state guidance, the Fair's buildings will not be open except for some bathrooms. To comply with limits on attendance, $3 admission tickets will only be sold online and only to the safe capacity limits of the grounds. Tickets will be good only for the date of the Fair for which it is purchased.
Safety guidance can change and prospective fairgoers are advised to follow the Fair's social media sites, sign up for the Fair's email newsletter, or closely follow the Fair's website to get the latest developments.
Founded in 1841, the Great New York State Fair is America's third largest state fair. The Fair showcases the best of New York agriculture, provides top-quality entertainment and is a key piece of Governor Cuomo's CNY Rising strategy of growing the Central New York economy through tourism. Fair attendance is up more than 46% since the beginning of more than $120 million in investments, with 1.33 million people attending the Fair in 2019. The 2021 Fair runs from Aug. 20 to Sept. 6.
