Blippi at New York State Fair

Blippi — the wildly popular, orange-and-blue-wearing YouTube star — is making a special stop in Syracuse with his brand new live show, Blippi: Join the Band Tour!

Mark your calendars for Monday, August 26 at 1 p.m. — because that’s when the Blippi fun takes over Chevy Court inside the Fairgrounds. And yes, this high-energy, music-filled show is perfect for dancing, singing, and all-around silliness.

“Last year, 15,000 enthusiastic fairgoers packed into Chevy Court to dance and sing, and I can’t wait to see what this year’s performance has in store," said Fair Director Julie LaFave.

If your kids are obsessed with Blippi (and let’s be honest, you probably know all the songs too), this is one stop you don’t want to miss.
