Fair Access for the Deaf (FAD) is always at the New York State Fair
in Syracuse, as it has been since 1988. The Fair runs for 12 days in late August thru Labor Day.
FAD brings sign language interpreters from all over New York State.

Everyday many events interpreted, including shows about stunt dog teams, bears,
sea lions, birds of prey, police dogs, cooking, scuba diving, rainforests, exotic animals,
rappelling, and police target shooting. Children enjoy live stage shows, magic and puppets.
The free evening concerts at Chevrolet Court are interpreted with reserved seating in front.

Schedules of interpreted events are available during the Fair. There are
