State Fair suggests Saturday crowds use park-and-ride shuttles as parking lots are nearly full

NEW YORK STATE FAIRGROUNDS (WSYR-TV) – On the first Saturday of the 2024 New York State Fair, fairground parking lots are filling up quickly, so State Fair officials are suggesting visitors use shuttles.

State Fair organizers report that the Brown, Pink and Gray parking lots have been full since Saturday afternoon, and the Orange and Willis Avenue lots are nearly full. In short, on-site parking may be tight.
