James E Strates Midway

The James E. Strates Midway is the only carnival midway to still travel by train, and for its 95th year, will be making its annual stop at the Erie County Fair.

The mile-long midway features rides, games, sideshows, concessions, and shopping. The Midway is open daily during the Erie County Fair from 11:00am until 11:00pm.

Rides are approximately 5-10 credits each
