With six stages featuring more than 110 musical performances, the Erie County Fair ranks as one of Western New York's largest live performance festivals. In addition to music - featuring genres from country to German and rock to jazz - the venue also puts the spotlight on community performers, such as dance ensembles, youth groups and aspiring vocalists.
The Erie County Fair is currently seeking regional entertainers to perform at the various stage venues during the 179th event in August. Interested acts are asked to complete an online application available at
www.ECFair.org. Applications will be accepted through April 1. Additional information about the fair's entertainment requirements can also be found online.
"The soundtrack of the Erie County Fair is provided by the immense talent found in our region," CEO and Fair Manager Jessica Underberg said. "Fairgoers truly get to experience the best of Western New York on our various stages."
The Erie County Agricultural Society is a private not-for-profit membership organization. Established in 1819, the society is the oldest civic organization in Western New York. The mission of ECAS, sponsor of the Erie County Fair, is to preserve and enhance - by educational endeavors - the agricultural and historical legacy of New York state.
The 179th Erie County Fair will take place Aug. 8-19. For more information, visit
