GEDDES, N.Y. -- Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney is scheduled to make a"major announcement" at the main gate of the New York State Fair Wednesday morning. It is expected that she will share details about the first performance scheduled for the brand new concert venue.
Construction is close to wrapping up at the amphitheater on the shore of Onondaga Lake. After this year, it will start hosting the concerts that used to be held at the grandstand on the fairgrounds. The first concert will act as a preview of how it will all work.
A date has not been set yet, but concerts are being held at the state fair grandstand on Thursday, August 27th, Friday, August 28th and Sunday, August 30th. That leaves Saturday the 28th, as well as September 4th and 5th as possible weekend dates.
TWC News and twcnews.com will have live coverage of the announcement, which is scheduled for 10:00 a.m.
