Don't Miss: Palisades Fair Final Weekend in West Nyack

The Palisades Fair opens Friday for its final weekend at the Palisades Center in West Nyack.

“We’ve loved being back in West Nyack, sharing our impressive line up of family entertainment including the Fearless Flores Thrill Show from ‘America’s Got Talent,’ award-winning illusionist Lance Gifford and more,” said Ron Weber, general manager of the event. “This is the perfect summer event, and we wouldn’t want the West Nyack community to miss it.”

All new this year is the Fearless Flores Circus and Thrill Show, semi-finalists on the blockbuster television show, “America’s Got Talent.” The family will perform several of its death-defying shows each day, including motorcycle madness in the “Globe of Death” and more.

Award-wining Illusionist Lance Gifford, who has toured much of the U.S. and Canada, will amaze fairgoers with his fast-paced and highly entertaining magical illusion show. He and his company perform some of the world’s most amazing illusions including the “Metamorphosis,” once performed by the late great Harry Houdini. Some of the “family members” in his troupe include doves, rabbits, a chow chow, toy and standard poodles, a Macaw parrot and Burmese python snakes. Gifford’s show can be seen live at the fair several times each day.

On Friday and Saturday nights at 9:30, the Las Vegas hypnotist show will make believers of the audience, while a man is convinced he’s Beyoncé, participating fairgoers believe it’s sunny at night and more.

The fair also features a large petting zoo where attendees can see kangaroos, lemurs, exotic birds and dozens of creatures normally only found in the best zoos in the U.S. This attraction is open during all fair hours.

No fair would be complete without delicious fair food. The Palisades Fair has all fair favorites like funnel cakes, zeppoles, Italian sausages, chicken on a stick, candy apples, popcorn and pizza.

Strates Shows will be providing a spectacular array of amusement rides ranging from high-speed riders for thrill seekers to exciting rides for the little ones. More than 40 rides, games and attractions will be onsite including the Sky Flyer and Himalaya.
