Summer savings on advance gate admission & one-price ride days for 180th Erie County Fair

Starting today, fairgoers will be able to save money preparing for “The Best 12 Days of Summer.”

Tops Friendly Markets has teamed up with the Erie County Fair to offer discounts off gate admission. Savings are more than 40% off the cost at the gate (2019 full price admission is $12 adults, $9 seniors). The discount sale cost is $7 per adult and $5 per senior (60-plus). Purchase vouchers from checkout cashiers at any participating Tops Friendly Markets locations now through Tuesday, Aug. 6, and redeem them at any fair gate upon arrival (valid everyday).

Fairgoers can also save on all the classic carnival fun on the famous James E. Strates Shows Midway during weekday one-price ride days Aug. 7-9 and 12-16. Vouchers can be purchased in advance for $25 (save $5) at Tops Friendly Markets until Aug. 6. New this year is the return of the famous Sky Wheel (double Ferris wheel) to celebrate the 95th anniversary of the Strates Shows at the Erie County Fair.
