HAMBURG, N.Y. — This year’s Erie County Fair will open at full capacity.

The Erie County Agricultural Society made the announcement Wednesday after Gov. Cuomo lifted mandatory COVID-19 restrictions.

The organization says it will still adhere to health and safety guidelines from the CDC.

The fair will be held from August 11-22.

Tickets will be sold online only, and are available begging July 1 at 9 a.m. Kids 12 and under are free, but still will need a ticket reservation that can be made online.
