Interested in working at the Great New York State Fair this year? You're in luck. 

There are hundreds of temporary positions now posted for the fair, which begins on Wednesday, August 24 and runs through Labor Day weekend.

“Each year, we are grateful to have about 1,600 employees help us throw one of the biggest and most fun events in New York State,” said interim Fair Director Sean Hennessey in a statement. “There’s no way that we could showcase the best that our state has to offer without our temporary and summer employees. There are still plenty of opportunities to join our team.”

Hennessey says the areas of most need include ticket takers and other guest relation services, bag checkers and security patrol, safety service members and tram conductors. 

Work hours, compensation and duration of employment will vary per role, with more information on how to apply, here. 

There are also more senior positions available, with the Fair looking to hire superintendent roles for scheduling talent acts for the youth talent competition, chefs and demonstrators for the Demonstration Kitchen in the Arts & Home Center, as well as a Arts & Crafts Director to oversee, schedule, and judge winning craft entries to be displayed at the Fair.

More information on superintendent roles can be found, here.

At this time, those interested in working for parking services at the fairgrounds are asked to reach out to Syracuse Parking Services for job listings.
