While this isn't going to be to the magnitude of the Great New York State Fair in Syracuse, you can't beat it for how close to home it will be and just because you're going to want something fun to do. The kids have been cooped up all winter, get them out and on some rides. Go with friends and gets some piping hot fried dough. Enjoy it all.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life.

From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
