The Great New York State Fair is excited to announce that Grammy-nominated recording artist Flo Rida will be performing at Suburban Park on Thursday, August 29th at 8:00 pm.

Flo Rida is one of the most popular music artists in the world, and his concert is sure to be a highlight of the Fair.

“Every year, some of our largest crowds are hip-hop shows and this was an announcement that we had a hard time keeping under our hats,” said Fair Director, Julie LaFave. “Flo Rida’s music defined a decade and we know fairgoers are going to pack Suburban Park to sing along to the sounds of summer. The Fair doesn’t just offer some of the best value in entertainment, it offers a chance to make lifelong memories and experience things that would cost hundreds of dollars elsewhere. This is the place to be from August 21 to September 2!”

Flo Rida has been churning out hits for over 10 years, including the five-time platinum single “Low,” which spent 10 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Top 100 chart.

His other hits include “Right Round,” “In the Ayer,” “Club Can’t Handle Me,” “Good Feeling,” “Wild Ones,” “Whistle,” “My House,” and “I Cry.” All told, Flo Rida’s music has been featured in numerous movies, video games, and television productions, and has been certified platinum 30 times.

The Fair runs from Wednesday, August 21st to Labor Day, Monday, September 2nd. All concerts and ground entertainment are included in the price of admission, making The Great New York State Fair one of the most affordable state fairs in the country.

Admission tickets are $8 for adults, while children under 12 and senior citizens aged 65 and older get in free. There is also a Frequent Fairgoer pass available for $25, which provides admission to all 13 days of the Fair. Parking is $12 per vehicle.

In total, The Fair’s Chevrolet Music Series will feature 39 national recording acts. There will be a daily 1 pm and 6 pm concert at Chevy Court (near Gate 1) and a daily 8 pm concert at Suburban Park on the western end of the Fairgrounds, beyond Midway.
