We’re celebrating Staten Island’s rich community for the 40th Anniversary by inviting all Staten Island favorites to join in. Where else can you see all Staten Island culturals in one place alongside artists and performances all weekend?
Featured arts and culture: Internationally known graffiti artists “Robots Will Kill” will be doing live art, NYC Arts Cypher will be doing live art demos and WeJustWorkin, Vito Picone, and DJ’s from MakerPark Radio will all be performing.

4) WIN PRIZES AND FAME IN CONTESTS FOR ALL AGES!
Ever wonder how many hot dogs you can eat in a minute? Or see your friends stuff their face into a pie? There are contests all weekend that will test your skills! Kids can participate in water balloon tosses and potato sack races while adults see how many of the spiciest wings Buffalo Wild Wings has to offer they can eat! Winners will be announced in the Staten Island Advance and will receive a trophy to brag about all year long.

5) THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR!
In addition to everyone's fair favorites like fried oreos and extra large lemonade, visit local restaurant staples like Sophia’s Taqueria, Twisted Steaks, Latin Bites and more! There are so many types of food, you’ll probably want to try them all! Just wait a few minutes before you try the free Bounce House and Joust.

6) DON’T FEEL LIKE WALKING?
Need a rest from all the fair has to offer? Take a ride on Spectrum’s Trolley for transportation throughout the park! Or take a nice air-conditioned break in the Everything Goes Lounge: A courtroom transformed into an antique filled living room where you can take anything you see home with you!

We’ve restructured the entertainment this year to make the impossible happen! A Jury Chamber transformed into an Escape Room, an aerialist above your head, axe throwing inside a barn foundation, horses circling a house from 1868, we’ve pulled out all the stops for this special weekend!
