On Thursday, August 13, between the hours of 11:00am and 2:00pm, sensory friendly hours have been designed for people who might find the typical fair visit too much to handle, both kids and adults. A more toned down version of the Erie County Fair where the rides will run with no flashing lights, music, or microphones and lights and the volume on the PA announcements will be turned down.
Sensory Room Available All Fair: The Sensory Room, located on the first level of the Security Building, will offer a chance for families to escape to a sensory-friendly environment that looks to soothe and comfort a person who may be overwhelmed. The equipment and materials available in this new area were provided by our partners at Southtowns Audio Video, Shanor Electric Supplies; a division of NOCO, and Mattress Firm. The Sensory Room will be open during regular operating hours of the fair, closing at 10:00pm daily.
