New York State Fair fans and anyone looking for indoor activities this winter have something to get excited for. The Syracuse Winter Fair is returning to the New York State Fairgrounds.

The fourth annual Winter Fair will feature food, music and entertainment, and plenty of rides inside the Exposition Center at the fairgrounds. There will be special areas for the NAACP Van Robinson Pan African Village, the Six Nations Indian Village, the Latino Village and for the New Americans and Immigrants.

“We are excited to continue the tradition. Everyone loves the New York State Fair! We want to give families a chance to experience elements of the Fair during the winter," said Steve Becker of Premier Promotions, the Promoter of the Winter Fair. "It’s great to have an event to bring your friends and family to. The New York State Fairgrounds have great year around events and Winter Fair is an annual tradition in 'Making Memories.'”

More than 20,000 people attended this year's fair back in February. This year, the weekend long festival will run Friday, Feb. 3 (from 2 to 10 p.m.), Saturday, Feb. 4 (from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.), and Sunday, Feb. 5 (from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
