Pride Day musical line-up announced for NYS Fair
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The New York State Fair has announced four musical acts to perform at the tenth annual Pride Day at the Fair event on Friday, August 22.
Country star Lily Rose will take the Chevy Court stage at 1 p.m.
Known for her viral hit 'Villian,' Rose has toured with big name country artists, including Sam Hunt and Shania Twain.
Popular 2010s American alternative rock group, Neon Trees, will perform at 6 p.m. at Chevy Court.
The band has rocked major festivals and continues to showcase their multi-genre talent since their debut album release in 2010.
After the Pride Parade, 20-year-old Jessie Murph will showcase her singer-songwriter talent at Suburban Park at 8 p.m.
Murph's stop at the NYS Fair is part of her North American headline tour, where she has been lighting up the stage with hits from her debut album 'That Aint No Man It's the Devil.'
To close out the night, the Lady Gaga Tribute band will perform Gaga's iconic hits at Chevy Court beginning at 9 p.m.
LGT stars Erika Moul as Lady Gaga and reps many awards alongside her elaborate costumes that showcase every era of Gaga.
Other events scheduled to take place on Pride Day include a flag-raising ceremony shortly after gates open, a comedy show and a Resource Fair, where attendees can socialize with members of various organizations to learn about different groups in the community.
'The Fair is a celebration of New York agriculture, food, and fun and it's also a celebration of all our communities that, together, make up the great state of New York. There is beauty in diversity, and we work hard, alongside our partners, to shine the spotlight on all New Yorkers. As we highlight our tenth anniversary of Pride Day at the Fair, I can't think of a better concert lineup and programming to bring together and uplift our LGBTQ+ community,' said State Fair Director Julie LaFave.

After record-breaking attendance, The Big E seeks to disperse crowds in 2025
The Big E is seeking to avoid crowding issues, which stemmed from record-breaking attendance last year, by offering half-priced tickets for this year's fair. The fair is hosting a flash sale from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday where weekday tickets, which normally cost $21.50, will be priced at $10.75. 'The midweek tickets aim to promote the Fair's fantastic entertainment offerings and highlight the best days to come to the Fair,' a press release read. 'We hope this becomes part of how people plan their Fair visit, making it a mini getaway in the middle of the week. It's a fresh way to experience the Fair, and this flash sale is the perfect reason to give it a try!' Customers can purchase up to eight tickets. Tickets are valid only one weekday of The Big E, Monday through Thursday. Tickets are exclusively available on The Big E's website. The sale was announced after The Big E broke an all-time total attendance record by welcoming 1,633,935 people in 2024. As one of the largest fairs in the U.S. and Canada, the 175-acre West Springfield event also broke its all-time single daily attendance record at 178,608 attendees on Sept. 21, and reported seven attendance records broken over the course of this year's 17-day fair, with five of them in a row. The Big E now nears — or far surpasses — daily attendance numbers of the 375-acre The Great New York State Fair and the 277-acre Texas State Fair. Last year's fair led may fairgoers to be concerned for their safety due to large crowds. Multiple viral social media videos showed gridlocked crowds across The Big E, with some fairgoers becoming concerned for their safety. 'It was almost impossible to walk through, because there were so many people,' Alice Flyte, of Westfield, previously told MassLive. 'I was just totally amazed at how full it was,' the 74-year-old said while describing lines of well over 20 people at every food stand and restroom and 'gridlocked' paths. Flyte was one of 49 people who told MassLive last year they felt unsafe at the fair over that weekend. Others said they experienced varying degrees of feeling secure with their family. The Eastern States Exposition said it was prepared for the crowds. 'In preparation for these large crowds, Eastern States Exposition increased its security detail and worked closely with law enforcement and emergency service partners to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all,' a statement to MassLive read. 'Thanks to these efforts, only minor incidents occurred, with just one arrest related to a domestic matter in the parking lot — an outstanding safety ratio given the high volume of attendees.' The Big E takes place from Sept. 12 to Sept. 28. Pop headliner announced for The Big E Arena in fall 2025 performance Rick Ross, Busta Rhymes to headline the Big E Arena together for fall 2025 Sparking interest, powering growth: Manufacturing tech show fills Big E Folk rock band The Avett Brothers to headline The Big E Arena in fall 2025 'Halfway to St. Paddy's Day' 2025 performance lineup unveiled by The Big E Read the original article on MassLive.

Latavius Murray announces new timeline for Jon Diaz Community Center opening, addresses multi-year delay
NEDROW, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Former NFL running back and Central New Yorker Latavius Murray announced on Monday plans for when his community center will finally be built. This comes after years of waiting, along with fundraisers being held for the project. In 2022, he set his sights on building the Jon Diaz Community Center in Nedrow, with the groundbreaking scheduled for 2023. Halfway through 2025, only the floor plan has been completed. 'We're about 99% done with the floor plan, which is a huge step, something a long time coming,' Murray said at a community meeting Monday night. Latavius Murray announces new timeline for Jon Diaz Community Center opening, addresses multi-year delay Destiny USA owner, Pyramid Management Group, defaults on loans owed for Buffalo-area mall Pride Day musical line-up announced for NYS Fair Syracuse teen charged for attempted armed robbery in Clay Local bottle redemption center hoping state bottle bill will pass The center has raised $9 million, with $500,000 coming from State Senator Rachel May after Murray told her about the project. 'We got excited about it, too and I was able to get some funding. Sometimes, I get capital funding that I can allocate around,' May said. 'I was able to get some funding for it. $500,000 for it.' Murray said the reason for the delay was having to wait for grant funds and more donors. 'When you have to apply for grants and get donors, it's a process. It's not easy, but it's something we signed up for and we're gaining momentum now,' he said. 'We're excited about where we are heading.' Now he says the plan is to have the groundbreaking in 2026 and the center open in 2027. 'While we have some goals in mind and things we want to accomplish with timelines, sometimes things change. What's important is keeping the main thing, the main thing, keep progressing, keep focus,' Murray said. 'We've been able to do that and that's why I feel confident in where we're going.' Murray partnered with the Integrated Community Alternatives Network to open an office space in Syracuse. The space will provide social and emotional services to families and children. The space is located at 1010 James Street. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
